Unforgettable Glacier Landing at Mount Cook
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by our experienced helicopter partners for a quick safety briefing before lifting off for your glacier landing. Your 30 to 40-minute helicopter ride includes panoramic views of Mt. Cook, New Zealand’s tallest peak, and finishes with a landing right on the snow. Step out onto the glacier to snap photos, throw a snowball or simply soak up the icy silence and alpine beauty.
This isn’t just a photo stop—it’s an experience where you can truly feel the scale and serenity of the Southern Alps. Once you’ve had time to explore and enjoy the snow, you’ll fly back to base where we’ll be ready to take you home. The return journey often follows a different flight path, offering fresh views and even more chances to spot hidden gems in this stunning alpine region.
