Review Tasman Glacier Heli Hike Experience in Mt. Cook
One of the best things that you can do in New Zealand is to visit and explore its mountains and glaciers! Book through Klook and get to go hiking around the Tasman Glacier, the largest one in the country! You’ll begin by hopping on a helicopter that’ll take you to the icy wonderland. On your way there, you’ll get wonderful, filmic views of the beautiful landscape below, so make sure to bring a camera with you and take snapshots or video recordings. Once you arrive there, you’ll immediately begin your hike. As you walk around the area, you’ll be able to enjoy the embrace of winter, feel soothing breezes brushing your face, and marvel at the majestic Mount Cook, the tallest mountain in the country. The glacier’s formation constantly shifts, so the pathways are always different. This makes each hiking expedition unique! If you’re looking to go on a thrilling adventure to see New Zealand’s natural wonders, then booking this experience is a must.

Unforgettable experiences that everyone should try if the weather allows. We were lucky enough to reschedule after our original trip was cancelled due to bad weather. The staff, the pilot, and our guide Jimmy were all super helpful and professional, making the hike a truly pleasant memory for us. Thanks a mil!

I really recommend joining their tour! The pre-trip instructions at the beginning were very detailed. All the equipment was complete and clean, so you didn't have to bring anything with you. The helicopter seats and groups were carefully arranged (the seats for the outbound and return trips were swapped), and the helicopter was also very new. The on-site glacier tour guide was friendly and professional 👍, and took us to explore the ice cave. We were lucky that it was sunny that day, but the temperature was still very low. It would get hot after walking around. It is recommended that you bring sunglasses, the sunlight is very glaring and the ultraviolet intensity is off the charts, so be sure to apply sunscreen! I think this trip is worth it, the icebergs are magnificent and full of memories💯

The pre-trip briefing was clear and detailed. Boots, crampons, and hiking poles were provided. We took a helicopter to land on the glacier. The guide led us to explore the glacier and ice caves, with rich explanations. The magnificent scenery was unforgettable. Highly recommended to participate when visiting Mount Cook!

An absolutely unforgettable adventure! Walking on the Tasman Glacier was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The landscape was breathtaking, and being surrounded by the pristine ice and towering mountains felt surreal.
What made the experience even more special was our fantastic instructor, Hunter. His guidance was top-notch—clear, informative, and delivered with genuine passion. We felt safe and well-prepared the entire time. The explanations about the glacier, its formation, and the surrounding environment added so much depth to the journey.
If you’re considering this tour—do it. It’s a magical blend of natural beauty, adventure, and education. Highly recommended!

The tour guide Rich is awesome. Taking us to experience the whole amazing journey. We were so lucky because of the sunny day. All the ice and sky were crystal clear. Fantastic and worth it! The tour guide Rich was super professional. He taught us a lot and had a very good control of time. We experienced walking on the ice ladder, exploring the ice cave, watching the waterfall and drinking glacier water. It happened to rain heavily the day before, so we experienced a cloudless sky. We were so lucky and it was a natural feast that was worth it!

The provided equipment was quite comprehensive, the ground crew explained everything in great detail, and the helicopter was very new. Once we reached the glacier, our hiking guide, Hunter, was humorous and engaging, giving us a complete and enjoyable experience. Thank you to the entire team for their efforts!

You must experience glacier hiking once in your life, drink glacier water and eat ice cubes. The helicopter flight time is 12 minutes one way, and the glacier hiking time is 2 hours. There are waterproof boots and crampons. There are also down jackets, waterproof jackets, gloves, thick wool socks and backpacks of your choice. The guide Ana took us to explore the amazing ice formations and ice caves. After the trip, we took a helicopter back to the base.
