Enjoy a scenic adventure that includes a snow landing on the Tasman Glacier!
Fly in a ski plane and a helicopter on the same day for an unforgettable experience of Aoraki/Mount Cook. Enjoy a scenic adventure that includes a glacier snow landing on the Tasman Glacier.
From takeoff to landing, you will enjoy spectacular views! Fly up the Tasman Valley over the breathtaking blue glacier lake. See the Hochstetter Icefall and the cloud-piercing Aoraki/Mount Cook before landing on the upper snowfields of the Tasman Glacier. Take time to enjoy this unique alpine environment before swapping aircraft and returning to Mount Cook Airport.
These mountains are covered in snow and ice all year round, and the aircraft fully shuts down on landing so you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. You’ll also see Tasman Terminal Lake, Grand Plateau, Plateau Hut, as well as the full length of the Tasman Glacier.

- Total duration includes 10-15min landing on New Zealand’s longest glacier – the Tasman Glacier.

‘The whole experience was amazing! We particularly enjoyed the ski plane landing on the glacier. We loved spending time walking around on the glacier and seeing this incredible area of nature. The views from above will stay in our minds forever. The pilots were informative, friendly and safety conscious. The ground crew and customer service team were excellent. Well worth it and exceeded all expectations.’ – D. Maerschel, 02 Dec 2024
INFANTS: The Civil Aviation Authority stipulates that we operate our aircraft in line with the manufacturers guidelines, one of these guidelines is that there is maximum number of passengers allowed on the aircraft, adult, child or infant. Therefore when an infant is booked on our flights and sits on the lap of a caregiver we are required to leave a seat free for this infant, thus the total maximum number of passengers remains the same. This is why you will see a charge for infants.
