Experience of a life time
Mount cook had a dumping of snow in the previous few days so the scenery was spectacular. Sam was a great pilot & very easy to talk to. As we stepped out of the helicopter on the glacier the snow was knee deep. Would do it again in a heart beat.

Stunning Views and great service!
Flew over so many different glaciers, the views were stunning! Then spent a good amount of time on the Tasman glacier. The pilot, Simon, was very professional and insightful. Overall, it was an amazing experience and is 100% recommended.

A must do experience
This was a fantastic experience. We had a clear day with new-fallen snow. The views were breathtaking. The plane-helicopter combo gave us maximum advantage on sights. Landing and takeoff on the glacier was easy as was the whole flight. The pilots were experts and provided out key info. All the staff was friendly and efficient. Thank you for the memorable time!

Disappointing Ride
Inhaf booked Helicopter + Ski Plane but when I reached there they said ski plane is not possible because its not available and they have upgraded me to high altitude Glacier. But when we went in Helicopter they took is to low altitude Glacier and because there were already 7 people with me in the Helicopter I had to sit in the last seat which was worthless to me and waste of my half money I would never recommend to book this ride through you Thank you
From 45 min Helicopter & Ski Plane Flight + Glacier Landing - Ultimate Alpine Combo - INFLITE Mount Cook
Kia ora Harsh, We appreciate your feedback and understand your disappointment. Unfortunately, the ski plane was unavailable due to weather conditions, so we offered the 45-minute helicopter flight as an alternative or the option to cancel with a full refund. Safety is our top priority, and weight and balance are crucial for safe helicopter operations. Because of this, seating arrangements can only be finalized once all passengers’ confirmed weights are taken. We regret that the experience did not meet your expectations. If you’d like to discuss this further, please reach out to our team, and we’d be happy to assist. We hope we get the chance to welcome you back to complete the Ski Plane and Helicopter experience, Best regards,
