FLIGHT DETAILS:
This experience uses a ski plane or helicopter and offers a return trip from the Aoraki Mt Cook Airport. Two ski run experiences are included. This is the only company operating ski planes in NZ and are proudly celebrating over 65 years of aviation. The planes have retractable skis on the aircraft, enabling them to land and take off from the snow and runways here! A unique and special experience. The flight path takes you over the Tasman braided rivers that feed from the Tasman Terminal Lake, past mighty Aoraki, and following the Tasman Glacier, for you to land for your glacier skiing experience. As always, adventure activities are subject to weather conditions, if weather conditions are not suitable for the Ski Plane, the team will utilise the helicopters for your epic experience.
