What you can expect
Take your adventure to new heights with a 35-minute scenic helicopter flight over Mount Cook National Park. Known as the 'cloud piercer' by Māori, you’ll soon see why as you rise above peaks, valleys, and the towering Southern Alps. Your pilot will share commentary along the way, pointing out glaciers, ancient landscapes, and the Ben Ohau Mountain Range. From this vantage point, every angle offers amazing views you simply can’t get from the ground.
The trip also includes an alpine landing, where you’ll step out onto a high-altitude snowfield and soak up the crisp alpine air while surrounded by mountain vistas and glacial valleys. This short yet thrilling flight is the perfect way to experience the raw beauty of New Zealand’s highest peaks. This is a hassle-free adventure that delivers maximum wow factor in under an hour.

天気が悪く、２０分のフライトは無理かもしれない、３０分のフライトに追加料金を払って乗るかと聞かれ、 不安に思っていましたが、結果的には催行されまし
天気が悪く、２０分のフライトは無理かもしれない、３０分のフライトに追加料金を払って乗るかと聞かれ、 不安に思っていましたが、結果的には催行されました。氷河で降りて写真撮影、アオラキをバックでシャッターも押してくれました。実際は３５分くらいだったのでお得でした。２０分のフライトでは無理なのでしょうが、もう少しアオラキに近いと良いと思いました。山の上は天気が良くて大満足でした。
