Was such an amazing experience. One my girls and I will remember for a lifetime. We only did the 20 minute ride and wish we had done more but still well worth it.

We were booked for the 20min flight but upgraded to the 55min to go around mount cook. Family of 6 with 2 young children. It was such an incredible flight. We saw all the glaciers and got to land right in front of Mount cook. The area is truly a wonder. The pilot made the flight very comfortable and the team on ground were absolutely lovely. Thank you so much for this once in a lifetime experience.

Booked & paid via Viator, email with booking number, plus 2nd email from tourist operator. On check in told flight couldn't go ahead as min no was 4, our party was 3. No info given advising 4was min. Told if paid extra $100 wld fly us despite acknowledging their error - did 20 min 'flight' as never been on helicopter. 10 mins spent on rocky landing, 10 min flying. Very expensive non-event. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

As per your App while booking showed landing for 5 minutes on glacier, whereas when we went to Helicopter point were told no landing on Glaciers and on only on plain rock. It was waste of money
