“A World Exclusive Experience” – 2 flights in one, take a Helicopter and Ski Plane flight onto the spectacular Tasman Glacier with the pioneers!
Fly in the footsteps of legends like Sir Edmund Hillary & Sir Henry Wigley, the first on board with Mt Cook Ski Planes on September 22nd 1955, on the first-ever Ski Plane, flying up the incredible Tasman Valley and landing on the Tasman Glacier.
Now, you have the chance to experience this Historic and world-exclusive scenic flight, the Ultimate Alpine Combo, which allows you to fly in BOTH a Helicopter and a Ski Plane in one unforgettable product! You can't do anything like this anywhere else in the world.
Taking off, you will enjoy our country’s most incredible views as you soar your way up the Tasman Valley and over the breathtaking blue glacier lakes below. See the Hochstetter Icefall and the cloud-piercing Aoraki/Mt Cook before experiencing the highlight of your journey as you land on the upper snowfields of the Tasman Glacier. The aircraft will fully shut down on landing, allowing you to take in your surroundings, and giving you the perfect video and photo opportunity!
When you’re ready to depart, you’ll then switch aircraft for the ride back down the valley, using the Tasman Glacier as your runway below.
This once-in-a-lifetime, world-exclusive experience is not to be missed, so don’t settle for a standard scenic flight. Elevate your adventure with Mount Cook Ski Planes & Helicopters and create memories that will last a lifetime!
Vue et vol splendide par contre le début et la fin font vraiment parc animalier, les touristes passent à la chaîne sans considération le langage malpoli, une plus petite industrie serait mieux.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the views and your flight! We strive to provide an exceptional experience for all our guests and appreciate your insights on areas for improvement. If you’d like to share more details please feel free to reach out.
Nous avons apprecie le service, malgre un changement de programme de derniere minute (le ski plane ne pouvant atterir sur la neige) nous avons quand même fais un tour dans l'avion et le sommet en hélicoptère
Les deux vols sont super la vue est exceptionnelle Réserver la veille par internet ou regarder avant car il y a des promotions (170 nz)
I got a phone call from a guy who said they can't do the 45-minute experience due to the weather, but they can do the 25-minute shorter helicopter version, and provide me with a refund. I agreed. I haven't received a refund to this day.
Kia ora, Thank you for your patience while we reviewed your booking (Ref: KZDV25X5381781). We’d like to clarify the situation regarding the downgraded flight and the refund discussed on the day. Your original booking was made at a discounted rate of $249.50 per person. The alternative flight offered due to weather conditions—the Tasman Taster helicopter experience—has a standard retail price of $379 per person. When the alternative 25 min experience was discussed, the intention was to refund the difference only if the amount paid exceeded the cost of the alternative flight. In this case, as the amount you paid ($249.50) was significantly less than the price of the Tasman Taster flight ($379), there was no price difference available to refund. We acknowledge that this was not clearly explained at the time, which understandably led to confusion, and we apologize for that lack of clarity. We hope this clears things up, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to discuss this further or if we can assist with a future booking. Kind regards, Mount Cook Ski Planes and Helicopters
