Tour Itinerary
Experience this magnificent alpine environment with a high scenic flight over the Ben Ohau mountains. See the magnificent landscape change from low rolling hills, to steeper and more rugged as the helicopter rises above scarred ridges left by the ancient glaciers.
Fly close to the steep ridges and rise over a mountain pass that reveals superb views out to Aoraki/Mount Cook and its surrounding peaks. Prepare yourself for an amazing landing on the Richardson Glacier where you will be able to step out of the helicopter and play in the snow. Enjoy expansive views down the Tasman Valley on your return to Glentanner Park at the head of Lake Pukaki.
The helicopter can hover, and land on some of New Zealand's most remote areas, which is the ideal location for sightseeing the towering peaks, crevasse filled glaciers and sparkling waterways right up close, as your professional pilot delivers an informative commentary en route.
