“A World Exclusive Experience” – 2 flights in one, take a Helicopter and Ski Plane flight onto the spectacular Tasman Glacier with the pioneers!
Fly in the footsteps of legends like Sir Edmund Hillary & Sir Henry Wigley, the first on board with Mt Cook Ski Planes on September 22nd 1955, on the first-ever Ski Plane, flying up the incredible Tasman Valley and landing on the Tasman Glacier.
Now, you have the chance to experience this Historic and world-exclusive scenic flight, the Ultimate Alpine Combo, which allows you to fly in BOTH a Helicopter and a Ski Plane in one unforgettable product! You can't do anything like this anywhere else in the world.
Taking off, you will enjoy our country’s most incredible views as you soar your way up the Tasman Valley and over the breathtaking blue glacier lakes below. See the Hochstetter Icefall and the cloud-piercing Aoraki/Mt Cook before experiencing the highlight of your journey as you land on the upper snowfields of the Tasman Glacier. The aircraft will fully shut down on landing, allowing you to take in your surroundings, and giving you the perfect video and photo opportunity!
When you’re ready to depart, you’ll then switch aircraft for the ride back down the valley, using the Tasman Glacier as your runway below.
This once-in-a-lifetime, world-exclusive experience is not to be missed, so don’t settle for a standard scenic flight. Elevate your adventure with Mount Cook Ski Planes & Helicopters and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted that you had such an incredible experience.
Original booking was changed due to adverse weather, this was offered instead and I didn’t feel like I had missed out. Brilliant adventure from start to finish. Pilot was friendly and helpful. Loved every minute!
Thanks for your fantastic review! We're so glad we could offer you an unforgettable adventure despite the weather. It’s great to hear you loved every minute and that our pilot made the experience even better. Hope to see you again for another adventure! 🚁✨
We loved every minute of our excursion. The ski plane landing on the glacier was not to be missed & the helicopter ride back coming up close to Mt Cook was thrilling. Both our guides were fun and knowledgeable and gave us great rides!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you loved every minute of your excursion. Landing on the glacier in the ski plane and the helicopter ride back past Mt. Cook truly make for an unforgettable experience! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to our pilots :)
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
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,
This experience was one of the highlights of our trip! Our pilot Mark was informative, fun and professional. He made a nervous passenger (myself) feel very safe and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your amazing review! We're so glad to hear this was a highlight of your trip and that Mark helped you feel safe and comfortable.
