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!

Expérience génial

Nous avons apprecie le service, malgre un changement de programme de derniere minute (le ski plane ne pouvant atterir sur la neige) nous avons quand même fais un tour dans l'avion et le sommet en hélicoptère

Cheating

The team they are chaeaters .you buy a combo deal for helicopter and ski plane but they will only offer you only one when you reach at there site . It happened to me and my mate . My mate booked for Saturday and I booked on Sunday. They make excuse by offering us one and embarrasse us by saying you already getting a cheap deal through book me . Please be aware and confirm about the combo .

Heli & No compensation ski plane cancellation

We were emailed on the day of the ski plane cancellation. As we were on the road, no chance to get a good signal to open the email. Arriving there, we have no idea that our ski plane has been cancelled, and the crew never informed us again about it regardless if we managed to read the email or not. Upon checking the ski plane package, we were told that it was cancelled and no refund will be made as we also took the heli exp for 45 mins. But the point is the package for heli and ski plane are two different pricing. As for heli only for 45mins is 259NZD while Heli + Ski plane charged us for about 346NZD. It was really a disappointing arrangement from the operator of Inflite
