Experience the ultimate adventure with panoramic views of Lake Pukaki and glaciers, a unique heli-hike on the Tasman Glacier, and a return flight over the scenic Lindis Pass.
Walk across New Zealand’s largest glacier.
Embark on an unforgettable adventure as you fly up the spine of the South Island, taking in panoramic views of Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea on one side, and Lake Pukaki, arguably New Zealand’s most beautiful lake, on the other.
Enjoy unparalleled aerial perspectives of the Franz and Fox Glaciers on the West Coast, as well as the Tasman Glacier within Aoraki Mt. Cook National Park. Marvel at the awe-inspiring views of the summit ridge of Mt. Cook and the Tasman Glacier before landing at Aoraki/Mt. Cook Airport, nestled on the picturesque outskirts of Mt. Cook Village.
Team up with a professional guide for a heli-hiking adventure, where you’ll fly by helicopter to a remote drop-off point on the glacier. Explore the ice formations on New Zealand’s largest glacier, following your guide as they cut steps into the glacier using traditional skills passed down from NZ’s mountain pioneers.
As it’s a big day, we recommend bringing plenty of easy-to-eat snacks. You’ll also have time to grab a bite in the village after your hike.
Conclude your adventure with a scenic return flight to Queenstown, following a different path over the tussock-drenched Lindis Pass.
