Frequently Asked Questions about Mount Cook 45-Minute Scenic Flight In A Ski Plane Or Helicopter
What happens if we can't fly due to bad weather?
The tour will do its best to work with you to reschedule your flight to suit your travel plans.
What is the difference between a ski plane and helicopter flight?
Both aircraft have the same flight path and landing sites on the Tasman Glacier. The ski plane will shut down the engine on every landing so you can fully appreciate the 'natural quiet' of the alpine environment. As one of only a few places in the world that offer this kind of product, a ski plane flight is a truly unique and memorable experience.
What should I wear on the flight?
All you will need is a light sweater or jacket, sunglasses, closed-in shoes and a camera.
What's the child policy?
- Infants 3 years old and under and free but must sit on a parents knee (seatbelt extension provided)
- Children 4 years old and over are child price and must have their own seat
- Ages 13 years and older require an adult priced ticket
Does the flight land on the glacier and how long will I get on the snow?
Yes, this flight lands on the glacier. If snow conditions are unsuitable, the tour has alternate sites or overflight options available. You will have 10 to 15 minutes on the snow. This is plenty of time to take photos, play in the snow and absorb the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains.
