We travelled to Mt Cook at the beginning of August, in winter. We were very lucky because in spite of being winter, it was very sunny and we could get the helicopter at 11.30 am. The customer service and the enterprise were excellent as we arrived, and we could do the tour in spite of being only 2 people (the minimum is 3) what we valued a lot. They provided you all the equipment for the snow, such as coats, boots, crampons, snow rackets and everything you need if you are not well-equiped.
The heli trip is amazing, the landscapes with Mount Cook are wonderful, is an incredible experience. The guide was really really good and a very good person, he had a good knowledge of the place, and he taught us lots of glacier things, give us time to take photos, and he has got a lot of patience.
Totally recommended if you go to NZ!!!
We did the heli-hiking tour a few weeks ago and haven’t stopped talking about it since! We were lucky to have perfect weather which made our experience even better. The helicopter flight alone was worth the trip but once we landed on the glacier and started exploring we couldn’t believe what we saw! Would highly recommend the trip and the company to anyone considering a glacier trip.
This was the best trip i have ever been on! it was freezing and so fun with mates. the guide was entertaining and very interesting. i highly recommend everyone goes here!
Kirsten was reliable, considerate and with very excellent teaching skill.
We spent a whole day on the glacier and gained not only practical ice skills but also enjoyed the view surrounded so much.
The cave formation was awesome.
You should not miss the tour if you are in this area of NZ.
What can I say. This is the very first time I see the great glacier and as well as taking the helicopter. I’ve chosen the heli hiking. The view is amazing, and I had nearly 2h on the glacier! The group of 4 is the only group there , you can deely feel the beautiful, sacred and tranquil of the glacier. I genuinely need to emphasize that our guide is the greatest guide ever, nice and good. I will definitely have a second time!
PINCH ME!! What an incredible experience with Mt Cook Glacier Guiding — one of the most jaw-dropping, picturesque and unique places I have ever been to.
There is nothing like the feeling of seeing Might Mt Cook and surrounding regions from above, then landing right in the middle and exploring the blue caves of this otherworldly place. STUNNING!!
Graza is the greatest guide. Make sure you say hello!
HIGHLY recommend.
