Scenic Flights
Finding the ultimate aerial view
Surrounded by seemingly endless mountain ranges, scenic flight tours of the Mackenzie region are an absolute must-do to get up close to the highest peaks and find the ultimate view.
Why is the Mackenzie Region the place to do a Scenic Flight?
Flightseeing allows anyone the opportunity to view this spectacular environment to what would otherwise be restricted to the most experienced and adventurous mountaineers.
-
Grand tour of New Zealand’s highest peaks (150 peaks higher than 2,300m) includes the window seat view to see New Zealand’s tallest mountain Aoraki/Mount Cook.
-
Glacial landings – make the most of the special moment where the engines stop, feet are on the snow and you can feel the silence and tranquillity of the mountains.
-
Marvel at the countless glaciers, ice and snowfields including the longest of New Zealand’s glaciers, the Tasman Glacier.
There is a variety of different scenic flight durations depending on your availability and price range. Businesses also operate from a number of convenient local airports in the Mackenzie region including Lake Tekapo, Pukaki (Twizel), Glentanner and Aoraki/Mount Cook or ask for a pickup and dropoff from right outside your accommodation at Mount Cook Station.
