Mt Aspiring Explorer Scenic Helicopter Flight from Wanaka

About this activity

The Mt Aspiring Explorer flight is a truly immersive experience, offering an extended journey through one of New Zealand's most iconic and remote landscapes.

Your adventure begins with an aerial circumnavigation of Mount Aspiring, also known as Tititea or the 'Glistening Peak,' standing proudly at 3,033 metres. You’ll soar above the breathtaking landscapes of Mount Aspiring National Park, a World Heritage site, and venture toward the West Coast, crossing the main divide.

Along the way, you'll experience awe-inspiring views of massive glaciers, cascading waterfalls, and dense native bush, all framed by the rugged Southern Alps. This extended flight includes two alpine landings, giving you the chance to step onto a glacier and the stunning Albert Burn Saddle, allowing you to truly connect with the pristine wilderness of this remote region.
