Mount Cook: Mountains High 40-Minute Helicopter Flight
Available languages
From NZD 610.26
Overview
Aoraki/Mount Cook ‘the cloud piercer’, our highest peak dominates the Southern Alps mountain range that divides New Zealand’s South Island into east and west. The Mt Cook National Park’s towering mountains, vast glaciers and remote snowfields inspired Sir Edmund Hillary, before his quest of Mt Everest.
This flight takes you past the Hochstetter Icefall on Aoraki/Mt Cook and the upper Tasman Glacier before a thrilling alpine landing in the snow. You’ll fly home through the remote Burnett Mountains with the expansive and arid Mackenzie Basin below you.

Breathtaking views.

4.0The experience was breathtaking! The only problem we had was that we could not understand what the pilot was saying through our headsets. This really detracted from the experience but other than that it was awesome!
Amazing experience with one flaw

4.0Once in a lifetime opportunity, amazing to learn about the glaciers. Only 4 stars as we didn't do a snow landing as advertised. Our daughter was disappointed.

5.0The views while in flight and after landing were spectacular. It was a gorgeous, clear day so we had good views of all the major peaks and glaciers. Our pilot provided excellent commentary throughout the flight. Highly recommended!
Truly amazing once we went

5.0Truly breathtaking views, and our pilot was great. We had to reschedule due to weather, which was fine, but the company communication wasn’t great.
