Reviews: New Zealand Mount Cook Helicopter Tour + Alpine/Snow Landing Helicopter Line + Glacier Hiking Optional (20-55 minutes optional + departure from Green Tanner)

The 45-minute snowfall was a fantastic experience. Actually, you don't need to arrive 30 minutes early; arriving a little late is fine too, as there's a queue to register and weigh you, and by the time you get to your turn, it's almost time to go. The pilots can get close to the mountain for a close-up view of the glacier. The snow on the mountain is very soft after being warmed by the sun, so you need to wear waterproof shoes. My regular sneakers were completely soaked after just 10 minutes of taking photos. It wasn't cold at all on the mountain; with the sunshine, it was similar to down below, so you didn't need a down jacket.

Glacier hiking is a great experience, especially taking a helicopter directly up to and from the glacier. A delightful surprise during the hike was the blue ice cave – it was the first time I'd ever seen one! It was amazing!
