What you can expect

Mount Cook boasts some of New Zealand's most dramatic mountain country. On a trip with Mt Cook Glacier Guiding you will enjoy the spectacular views from the helicopter before feeling the ice and snow underfoot as you explore the Tasman Glacier.

Take a breathtaking scenic helicopter flight to your starting point, a remote part of the glacier. In the summer you will be fitted with crampons designed for the hard ice conditions of the glacier and in winter you can try snow shoeing or the crampons. Your guide will take you on an exploration of amazing ice formations before another exhilarating flight back to the base.
