Mount Cook Mountains High Helicopter Flight

Meet a driver at your Mount Cook hotel for transfer to the helipad then board a sightseeing helicopter (the fleet is mostly 6-passenger European AS355 Twin Engine Squirrels).

Lift off above the mountain landscape as the pilot points out landmarks on the ground below, and set a course for the majestic Tasman Glacier, the largest glacier in New Zealand. You’ll hover over Mount Cook’s vast ice fields before touching down on Tasman Glacier, where you’ll have panoramic views that include Mount Cook (Aoraki) itself.

Following your time on Tasman Glacier begin the return flight to the helipad, following a route that flies through the Burnett Mountains and across the Mackenzie Basin. This Mount Cook helicopter experience concludes with drop-off at your original departure point.

• Fantastic, aerial views of the Mackenzie Basin
• Cover hard-to-reach sections of the Southern Alps
• 6-passenger helicopters ensure views for every passenger

Fly over Mount Cook (Aoraki) on a helicopter flight with a spectacular snow landing atop the Tasman Glacier, where you'll have up-close views of New Zealand's highest peak. A Mount Cook helicopter flight takes in remote places inaccessible by road: see the Southern Alps from the air, look down into the Mackenzie Basin, then fly back to Mount Cook Village through the rugged Burnett Mountains.
