Description

This world first, ultimate experience takes you on a 45 minute adventure including a ski plane flight, glacier landing and helicopter flight in Aoraki Mt Cook National Park. There is nowhere else in the world that you can experience this.

Departing from the Aoraki Mt Cook airport in one machine, this INFLITE Mt Cook experience soars over the Blue Glacier Lake, Hochstetter Icefall and the breathtaking summit of Aoraki Mount Cook. You then land for 10-15 minutes on the Tasman Glacier, New Zealand’s longest glacier. 

Upon landing amongst the snow and ice of the Tasman Glacier, the aircraft will completely shut down to allow time to soak up the splendour of this breathtaking environment. You are then picked up by your second aircraft for the return flight to Mount Cook Airport. Each leg will give you a breathtaking perspective of the untamed and beautiful Mt Cook region, New Zealand.
