Mount Cook Fly | Heli Hike | Fly ex Queenstown

From $1349 per person
Fly into the heart of the Southern Alps before transferring to a helicopter to Hike on the Tasman Glacier!

Departing from Queenstown, enjoy an unforgettable flight into the heart of New Zealand’s Southern Alps with unparalleled views from the window seat of our fixed-wing aircraft. Marvel at the immense scale and spectacular grandeur of this breathtakingly beautiful region. Experience the most awe-inspiring aerial views of the summit ridge of Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest mountain standing at 3,724 metres tall, before landing in Mount Cook National Park.  Your knowledgeable, highly skilled local pilot will provide interesting and informative commentary during this 60/70-minute flight of a lifetime.

Touching down at Aoraki/Mount Cook Airport on the outskirts of Mount Cook Village we will team you up with your glacier guiding professional from Mount Cook Glacier Guiding for your Heli Hike on the Tasman Glacier. Once your crampons or snowshoes are fitted you will be flown by helicopter to a drop off point on a remote part of the glacier ready to explore the amazing ice formations. No two trips are the same – the glacier is ever changing so your experienced guides are always finding something new and interesting to show visitors. Your time on New Zealand largest glacier is finished with another spectacular Helicopter flight back to the Aoraki/Mount Cook base where your Glenorchy Air pilot will be waiting for you.

The adventure isn’t over yet however!  Boarding your return flight to Queenstown, the breath-taking scenery continues down the spine of the South Island.  Starting with spectacular views of Lake Pukaki, arguably New Zealand’s most beautiful lake, the glacial fed water gives it the distinctive blue colour it is most famous for.

You will not want to miss this flight of a lifetime!

However if you are not sure the Heli Hike part of this experience is for you, then have a look at our Mount Cook Flight & Landing option instead.
