Activity description
Take flight on a ski plane through some of New Zealand’s most dreamy sights with views of breath-taking glaciers and the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.
With three different flights to choose from, all will take you over the main geographic areas of interest in the Aoraki Mt Cook National Park. By circumnavigating Mt Cook, you will take in breathless views including Mt Cook’s highest peak at 12,349 ft. The ski plane will take you to discover the Tasman Glacier, the longest glacier in New Zealand. You will then cross the main divide to the West Coast for more stunning views with the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers. Lastly, you will circle back onto the eastern side of the Southern Alps into the Hooker Valley before returning into the Tasman Valley to land back where you started.
Each experience varies in starting point and flighttime. No matter which you choose, it will be an unforgettable one!
