Took the heli/ski plane combo tour with glacier landing. Very brief flights, but wonderful views. Very cool to stand on glacier snow.

The helicopter ride was amazing, the tour guide was great a shame the wait at the airport was so long.

This was a once in a life time experience for us! The day was sunny, light winds, and the ice and snow sparkled like glitter. Several spectacular photos that day. FYI You'll have 15 minutes to walk around in a staked out area and take pictures at the glacier. I wouldn't have used precious suitcase space with fleece wear if I'd known that. We went the 2nd week in March.

The helicopter/ski plane made the long journey well worth it! Seating can be a bit cramped throughout. The stops helped to break up the trip. The Wrinkly Rams was a nice little cafe, and the salmon farm on the way back had some fresh sushi rolls! We may drive on our own up to Mt Cook next time though
