5.00This trip was well worth the money, l highly recommend it. Although you are crammed into the helicopter like sardines! It seats 6 but would be better if only 3 were in the back seat instead of 4, especially if you don't go in a group with people you know but their is ample oppotunity to take fantastic photo's during the flight. The landing on the glacier is the icing on the cake & the pilot will take souvenir photo's for you. Our pilot Greg was very knowledgeable & made sure everyone had the oppotunity to see everything. He even tipped the helicopter on it's side so we could look down below us. If you've never been in a helicopter before, & you are a little apprehensive, this is the trip for you as the views are so spectacular you'll forget you are even flying. I'd forgotten how much l love to fly & this trip reminded me l have to book a lesson as soon as l get home!
Unforgettable experience

5.00We decided on the spur of the moment to book a flight from the Glentanner Holiday park to Mount Cook with landing on the Tasman Glacier. What an excellent trip and views to die for. So pleased we did it and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
Super experience
