What you can expect

Take your adventure to new heights with a 35-minute scenic helicopter flight over Mount Cook National Park. Known as the 'cloud piercer' by Māori, you’ll soon see why as you rise above peaks, valleys, and the towering Southern Alps. Your pilot will share commentary along the way, pointing out glaciers, ancient landscapes, and the Ben Ohau Mountain Range. From this vantage point, every angle offers amazing views you simply can’t get from the ground.

The trip also includes an alpine landing, where you’ll step out onto a high-altitude snowfield and soak up the crisp alpine air while surrounded by mountain vistas and glacial valleys. This short yet thrilling flight is the perfect way to experience the raw beauty of New Zealand’s highest peaks. This is a hassle-free adventure that delivers maximum wow factor in under an hour.
