Embarking on a grand traverse flight over national parks is a breathtaking aerial odyssey, where the Southern Alps unfold beneath you, revealing the majestic peaks, glaciers, and turquoise lakes of New Zealand. Get ready for a unique perspective as you take off.
Transfer to Timaru Airport and start your adventure as you climb into a small high-wing, fixed-wing aircraft – ideal for New Zealand's conditions, offering all window seats for unobstructed viewing.
Along the way, your pilot provides informative and enjoyable commentary. Take off over the southern Canterbury Plains, leading to beautiful turquoise glacial lakes, golden tussock lands, and the braided river systems of the Mackenzie Basin.
You'll venture over remote high-country sheep stations and glacial valleys to Aoraki Mount Cook National Park – a magical world of permanent ice and snow with New Zealand's tallest mountains and largest glaciers. These include Aoraki Mount Cook, the Tasman Glacier, and the Westland Tai Poutini National Park, which encompasses the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, spilling down to the rain forests of the west coast.
This flying adventure is the perfect way to make your visit to New Zealand exciting and unforgettable.
