About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- F9881YOnickw0 contributionsWow!!!! IncredibleWhat an experience!!! Highlight of our time in New Zealand so far. The helicopter ride with mark was fantastic and the plane ride back with Maurice just as wonderful. You just have to do thisWritten 11 January 2025
- letitiac20250 contributionsBucket list experienceAmazing experience. The ski plane and helicopter combo was fantastic. Dont hesitate! Thanks to our guides Andrew and Angus.Written 7 January 2025
- Z1520QBtonyl0 contributionsNot all passengers has the same viewThis helicopter tour accommodates six passengers in a two-row configuration, with the pilot in the front left. While the pilot expertly hovered at each point of interest to allow for photos, the viewing experience was highly uneven. Passengers seated in the front row or the left-most seat enjoyed spectacular, unobstructed views. Unfortunately, those seated elsewhere had to contend with obstructed views, looking over the shoulders of other passengers. The helicopter was not rotated to offer all passengers a direct view of each scene, which significantly diminished the experience for those not in the prime seats. This lack of consideration for all passengers' viewing angles greatly reduced the value of the tour.Written 6 January 2025
- 469abhilashj0 contributionsThe best. Period.Me and my partner took a deep breath, mustered all our courage, and YES—we conquered the 13,000-foot jump! 🎉🎉 Sure, we had our sights on 16K, but hey, the weather had other plans. 🌧️ No biggie though, because the crew? ABSOLUTE LEGENDS! 🙌 They broke everything down so perfectly, over and over, that by the time we jumped, it felt like second nature (well, almost 😉). And let me tell you, if you’re in NZ and dreaming of a skydive, THIS is the place to do it. 🌏✨ The views of Mt. Cook? Beyond epic. Go for it—you won’t regret it! 🪂💥Written 4 January 2025
- Kiattichai R0 contributionsHelicopter and Ski Plane flights at Mount CookWe booked the flight for 26th Dec but the weather was not good so they provided an option to reschedule our flight to 27th, which is ok for us. Luckily, the weather on 27th is nice and sunny. Once we got there, we checked-in with a friendly staff and waited for a while before being brought to an area for security briefing and then moved to outside waiting for boarding. We got up to the Tasman Glacier by a helicopter and came back down by a ski plane. Our flight include a total of 9 passengers, 3 are us and the other 6 are very nice people from Hong Kong. We stayed up there for 10-15 mins. Very pleasant experience and get to see the view that hiking tracks won’t get you there.Written 26 December 2024
- A99_hamzah0 contributionsMust do, fantastic experienceUnbelievable experience, you get to see so much more of the glacier and the mountains in the summer time. Everything was on time and ran smoothly.Written 20 December 2024
- Freedom661490673170 contributionsBAD service and be ready to spilt upOur family of 4 booked the 45min alpine flight with the hotel the day before. We were told to be picked up at 345pm, time provided by the heli staff at infinite. We arrived early and was picked up punctually. When we arrived we were shocked to be told we will be split into 3 in one group and another 1 in another heli. We weren’t told beforehand on this arrangement and the staff just brushed off saying 1) they “understand “ but (just too bad for us)? 2) because we were last to arrive and late. 3) tried to review but the company or TripAdvisor blocked me For (1), they tried to ask the other family to be spilt and I can understand why nobody booking together will want to spilt up. Hence I don’t blame other families nor impose on them. Similarly this is our first flight that we want to take together 2) the time for pickup was dictated by infinite not us, so why were we being blamed? 3) I am unable to load this review so using another mobile. Somehow it seems infinite blocked my review.Written 29 November 2024
- evelync7160 contributionsBAD service! Be prepared to sit separatelyThis review is for Mount cook ski planes and helicopters by Infinite. It seems I am unable to send a review of them. This clearly shows their lack of service to block me? My family of 4 booked the 45min flight yesterday with our hotel for 430pm flight today. We were told to be picked up at 345pm at hotel lobby. We arrived early and was picked up punctually. Everything went downhill thereafter. We arrived at Mount cook airport and was told my the staff we would be split by 3+1 on another flight. This was not told to us beforehand. The staff blamed us for being the last to arrive but we were picked by the staff at the time stated by them. When we explained this was our first flight together as a family, they insisted that we will be spilt only on the flight but at the glaciers we will be together. I wonder who takes a flight separately when paid for together. So staff decided to ask another family if they will be willing to be spilt. I don’t blame another family for their unwillingness given that as a family, everyone will love to fly together. The fact that they nonchalantly blamed us for being last to arrive, and then said they “understand “ but the situation made it just too bad for us? If we were told beforehand, we would not bookWritten 29 November 2024

- Philippe H0 contributionsDidn’t leave with smile on our facesWe booked the the ultimate alpine experience which takes you (by skiplane) to the Tasman glacier and land you back on the ground by helicopter: Plus: Friendly and competent pilots amazing weather (we got lucky) the landing on Tasman glacier was really cool Minus The experience is supposed to be an ‘ultimate scenic alpine experience, but the flights were clearly overbooked. Not everyone got a window seat, so the flights were certainly a dead fish Ground staff didn’t get further than “we’ll take it up with the higher ups, hope you have a great rest of the day” . Most companies explicitly advertize that everyone gets. window seat, you’re better off booking with one of thoseWritten 2 November 2024
- RoohiC500 contributionsAn adventure dayWe did the Heli hike. Liked pick up from hotel. Staff at check in very friendly and our guide Via was excellent - she really made the whole experience of hiking on the glacier outstanding. Exhilarating views on glacier and helicopterWritten 26 October 2024
- Colleen V0 contributionsBucket List Helicopter Tour over Mount Cook and the GlaciersBucket list activity for sure on the incredible helicopter tour over the glaciers and Mount Cook! Between the wonderful views during the helicopter ride, to the magnificence all around when we landed on the Tasman Glacier, I was in awe of the sheer splendor before me. It was the perfect group size (8), and Roger (our pilot) did a masterful job of flying the craft, minimizing rocking and buffeting where he could, along with providing fabulous commentary on what we were seeing. He also pointed out the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, although we couldn’t see them given the low cloud cover. All in all, an incredible experience! I highly recommend this!Written 28 September 2024
- 465vickeyb0 contributionsWhen are we going again?A once in a lifetime occasion ... not if I can help it! I loved it. Ben, the pilot, was caring & considerate. His commentary was helpful, he put us helicopter first timers at ease by his confident & professional ways. The views were so much better, as we're the photos, than all the shots taken along the roadside to get to Aoraki. He also made sure we all got a window seat either on the way up or on the way back. Some good vibes going on. Thank you.Written 16 September 2024

This is rated by my 15 year old daughter as "the best thing I have ever done in my life". I bought the jump for her as a xmas present, as 2020 was a struggle for her and I wanted to give her a confidence boost with a difference. She did her jump two days ago and LOVED it. The whole family travelled over and we were all really impressed how the super-friendly staff welcomed everyone in to be part of the experience (on the ground) and we simply cannot fault this entirely professional and positive adventure. A special shout out to Holly who was fantastic to deal with right from my very first enquiry. Thanks Skydive Mt. Cook!

AMAZING! 3 jumpers, including me, all first timers. Was a very hit and miss weekend with the weather that we got. I was dealing with Lisa to figure out if/when it was going to happen, she went way out of her way to accommodate for us and we ended up having a great jump.
The whole team from the get go was amazing. They made us feel at home even with the obvious nerves running through us all. They made it exciting and built a great atmosphere before we even got to the plane. Couldn't fault them in anything at all, would highly recommend using these guys. You won't regret it at all! I'll probably be back for round 2 very soon

My wife’s birthday fell over her honeymoon and I surprised her (a day before so she knew how to prepare) with skydiving. It was both of our first times and it was a blast!! They had to adjust our height due to clouds, but they reimbursed us for the height we actually fell from.
I want to give our guides specific credit, but I can’t recall their names. They were both great! The video was definitely worth it.

The team at Mount Cook were so professional and friendly. They went out of their way to ensure I could skydive for the first time on my birthday at short notice. They were so safe in their practice and the easy banter got rid of my nerves within minutes.😁The views, the feeling, the rush and the pride following completing this was incredible. This was my first but won’t be my last skydive and that is thanks to Nick who was with me all the way on my tandem. A must do activity with the best team 😎🪂

Amazing experience, amazing team, AMAZING VIEW. Our weekend with Skydive Mt. Cook was both exciting & relaxing. Having our accommodation on site was so convenient and very comfortable. The team are so helpful and friendly and the professional dive team are so reassuring. 24/7 view of the McKenzie basin and the Southern Alps.
