Aoraki Mount Cook

A phenomenal adventure taking in New Zealand’s highest peak, Aoraki Mount Cook from both the air and the ice, as well as breathtaking blue ice caves. 

Fly north towards Aoraki Mount Cook, New Zealand’s tallest peak. Enjoy a scenic flight around this spectacular wilderness area.

Land amongst the crevasses of the Tasman Glacier and explore with your guide the glacier’s seracs, icefalls and astonishing caves of ancient blue ice. 

After this incredible experience, the return flight takes in the western side of the Southern Alps, where the mountains reach their highest elevations rising straight from the emerald green of the West Cost and the glittering Tasman Sea. This tour allows time for additional heli-hiking en route for those guests who wish to do a little more exploring.
