Description

Discover Aoraki Mt Cook on a day trip from Queenstown with Glenorchy Air. The Mt Cook Fly Explore Fly is a 6 hour adventure into Mount Cook National Park departing from Queenstown. Experience aerial views of mountains and glaciers on a scenic flight, before landing at Mt Cook Airport to explore the area.

The first leg of your Fly Explore Fly tour with Glenorchy Air is a scenic flight from Queenstown to Mt Cook. This is an incredible flight path with unrivalled views of the Southern Alps, West Coast glaciers and, of course, the towering 12,218ft Aoraki Mount Cook. Once you land in Mt Cook Village, you will be even more blown away by the beauty of New Zealand’s highest mountains. 

With 4 hours to explore in Mt Cook, you won’t be short of things to see. Your Glenorchy Air guide can point you in the right direction for the must-do Hooker Valley Track, a delicious lunch at the Hermitage Mt Cook and much more. To get closer to the famous Tasman Glacier, you can even take part in Mt Cook activities such as a ski plane or helicopter flight.
