A Phenomenal, Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime Adventure
Our Tasman Glacier Heli‑Hike Tour from Queenstown, booked through Viator, was an absolutely unforgettable experience from start to finish. The day began with an early‑morning one‑hour scenic flight from Queenstown to Mount Cook Airport — a breathtaking journey over dramatic alpine ranges, shimmering lakes, and snow‑covered peaks. The views alone were worth the trip, and the flight crew made the experience smooth, safe, and enjoyable.
Upon arriving at Mount Cook, the adventure continued with a spectacular helicopter ride onto the Tasman Glacier. Landing on the ice felt surreal, and the two‑hour guided heli‑hike was nothing short of extraordinary. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the region. We explored towering ice formations, deep crevasses, and stunning blue ice structures that looked like something from another world.
The entire experience was exceptionally well‑organised, with seamless coordination between the flight team, helicopter crew, and glacier guides. Every moment felt special, immersive, and truly unique. This tour is a must‑do for anyone visiting Queenstown — it’s a bucket‑list adventure that delivers incredible scenery, expert guidance, and memories that will last a lifetime.
We couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Unreal experience , a must do activity !
Unreal experience , the view and the hike was amazing. The tour guide ( Kerry or terry ) i think his name was very friendly and helpful towards our group.

Amazing little excursion. Very weather dependent.
Such an amazing experience to see the glacier and hike on it. The hiking guide was friendly and informative. Boots and crampons were provided. Tip to bring waterproof gloves if sprinkling. Our trip was one of the rare ones that week since weather conditions caused many cancellations. Our trip was shortened 30 min due to incoming bad weather. But I appreciated the extra safety precaution. Set your expectations that Mother Nature may affect your plans!

Wonderful adventure with our guide Connor Bensen
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.

We had an unreal experience & this truly was a top 3 moment of our lives.
Thanks to Andrew, our pilot from TrueSouth who gave us a smooth experience even with some bad winds.
Scott was a great guide who showed us around the glacier. His energy made the whole experience pass by so fast as we explored the glacier.
This is something we would do again & recommend to anyone! It's not cheap but it is 100% worth it.

Leave room in your schedule in case the weather is uncooperative. You won't want to miss it. Have a built in buffer so you can reschedule if necessary.

Breathtaking and unforgettable
This was an unforgettable experience for the entire family. The plane flight to the helicopter was smooth, beautiful and great with the added points of interest pointed out by Luke our pilot. We were unable to do the glacier hike portion due to incoming weather so instead, Simon our pilot, landed flawlessly mid point of the mountain. What pristine terrain and unforgettable scenery! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an incredible adventure.

Helicopter ride was beautiful and Matt was an excellent guide! We had the chance to explore far down into an ice cave which was a unique sight to see.
