Amazing views of Glacier

Published on Feb, 2025

Helicopter ride was amazing. The aerial views of the glacier and surrounding mountains were breathtaking, and the flight was smooth and informative. A must do ride

Great experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a great time on the Tasman taster. 30 mins or so. Mark our pilot and guide was a legend. Everything felt super easy going, stress free and friendly. Definitely worth doing this cheaper option (we had great weather though).

When are we going again?

Published on Sep, 2024

A once in a lifetime occasion ... not if I can help it! I loved it. Ben, the pilot, was caring & considerate. His commentary was helpful, he put us helicopter first timers at ease by his confident & professional ways. The views were so much better, as we're the photos, than all the shots taken along the roadside to get to Aoraki. He also made sure we all got a window seat either on the way up or on the way back. Some good vibes going on. Thank you.

The best first helicopter ride

Published on May, 2024

This was a pleasant first helicopter ride for us! Our pilot was awesome. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Our wonderful experience with Viator

Published on Dec, 2023

Flying over the snow cap mountains. Walking on the snow and checking it all out. The pilot was very helpful. Thank you to the staff as well.
