45-min Mt Cook helicopter with Tasman Glacier landing (10–15 min), engines off, live commentary, and Aoraki Mt Cook views.
“We had such a special time. Landing on a glacier is something we will never forget. The majestic Mount Cook was awesome. Our pilot was excellent and very informative and caring. It was not as cold as we anticipated but I think that depends on the day. Wear sunglasses and shoes that don't slide on…”
25-minute helicopter flight over Aoraki Mt Cook with an alpine landing on Brass Peak or Liebig Dome in New Zealand, from $244.

Heli-hike Tasman Glacier from Mount Cook: 30-min flight, 2-hr guided crampon hike, and Hochstetter Icefall views.
“Hiking on the glacier was a one-in-a- lifetime experience. Connor Bensen was our guide and he was great - very communicative, considerate, and accommodating. He knew so much about the glaciers. It takes concentration as you walk on the glacier as it is not flat, but Connor made it very doable.”
