On 18th January 2023 my party of 2 adults and 2 children (all Kiwis) did an amazing flight on a ski plane that took about an hour and flew us from Mt Cook airport in a big loop around Mt Cook itself then landing on Tasman Glacier before returning to the airport. Basically, it was amazing. Like once in a life time wow factor to see the scenery of the Southern Alps and the West Coast and to land on the glacier. Words fail to describe how good it was. We had an 0830 flight but it was delayed, due to clouds, for about an hour and a bit. But the company dealt with this smoothly. One of the adults (not me!) was a reluctant flier but Dan, our pilot, was exceptionally good at managing all of us including the nervous one amongst us. That he has decades of experience helps. These flights are not cheap, cost us about $NZ2k. So I wasn't sure if I would get a sense of value for money. But I needn't have worried, it certainly was value for money because the experience was for all of us so, so amazing. The best two grand I ever spent!!! If I could rate it 11 out of 10 I would.
