Tasman Glacier Heli Hikes offers easy access to the icy realm of the mountaineer. With your professional guide, you will fly high on to the “white ice” of NZ’s longest glacier – the mighty Tasman. Meet at Mt Cook Airport, provide a safety briefing, and equipment check. Then embark on a thrilling helicopter flight into the mountains. You land at 1,200 metres above sea level and spend up to 2 hours on this guided interpretative ice trek. The gently undulating terrain is an amazing landscape of fluted ice, runnels, moulins, and sinuous winding streamlets. The helicopter will return you safely to Mt Cook Airport, flying close by the massive 1,000 metre Hochstetter Icefall, below Aoraki Mount Cook to finish this amazing adventure.
