Perfect. The customer service is excellent, the pilots are excellent, the ski plane was comfortable and so smooth! The day was absolutely perfect and we are still buzzing. My favourite thing I’ve ever done across 33 countries - simply the most stunning part of the world

I thoroughly recommend this activity.
We flew the grand traverse from Mt Cook village & landed on the top of Franz Josef glacier.
Stunning sunny autumn day with no wind at all.
Trip made memorable by Inflite’s considerate & helpful personnel - especially our pilot (+ his skill).

Friendly staff, awesome pilot and amazing flight. Especially loved the glacier landing👍Standing on 400m thick ice, taking in the stunning views of this frozen world and surrounding mountains is an unforgettable experience. Fantastic close up views of mighty Aoraki. Should be on everybodies bucket list!

We loved our time on the Tasman Glacier. The kids had a blast literally swimming in the snow. The scenery was spectacular.
The staff seemed really happy to be sharing this with more Kiwis and very grateful for the support.

Highlight of our trip!
We actually booked the plane/Heli combo but there were not enough people to do the tour so we did the ski plane with glacier landing.
What an adventure! Just stunning!
Our pilot Dan took good care of us and was informative and very friendly.
My husband was even able to fly in the cockpit with him. What an amazing treat.
Highly recommended.

Had the pleasure of doing this trip with my mum as she visiting me from Denmark and we both absolutely love it. #mindblown
The Mount Cook Ski Planes staff at Mount Cook airport is super helpful and friendly and our pilot Dan was real nice and explained about the Tasman Glacier, Mount Cook and all the other stuff as we were flying.
Landing on the snow at the top of the glacier was unreal and such a nice experience and would not hesitate for a second to recommend Mount Cook Ski Planes and the "45-Minute Glacier Highlights Ski Plane Tour from Mount Cook" to anyone.
Enjoy

My best friend and I did this tour last week and OH MY GOD IT WAS INCREDIBLE. Hannah was at the front desk and she was amazing the whole way through. She explained the route throughly pointing out the glaciers we would be seeing including the Franz Josef, Fox and Tasman. Once in the plane our pilot was professional and personable telling us all about the glaciers while cracking jokes and really interacting with his passengers. Landing on the glacier was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life, you could see mountains, ice formations, streaming water for miles. I would highly, highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an up close personal view of some of the most incredible mountain ranges in New Zealand.

My best friend and I had the most amazing time with inflite.
Upon arrival Hannah at the front desk was super friendly and accommodating.
The plane itself can fit 10 people + the pilot.
It was the most beautiful day in Mount Cook, no clouds in the sky.
The plane circled all three glaciers - Franz Josef, Fox and Tasman Glacier.
When we landed on the Tasman glacier, it was such a smooth landing with the ski plane.
We got to spend about 15 minutes exploring the glacier. It was incredible! All the icy formations and crevasses were amazing to see up close.
Can honestly say this is the absolute best way to see all three glaciers. A ski plane is such a unique experience. It is a MUST DO!
