Akaroa to Mt Cook Heli-Tour

Fly from Akaroa through the mighty Southern Alps to Aoraki Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest mountain.

Trip Overview

What better way to spend your day off your cruise ship than taking a luxury helicopter tour to Aoraki Mt Cook, New Zealand's highest mountain, and landing on a glacier by ski plane?

On your journey south you will take in the unique views of Canterbury, the Banks Peninsula, and the fertile Canterbury Plains. Mighty glacier-fed rivers flow from the Southern Alps across the Canterby Plains; you will have views of snowy mountain peaks and crystal-clear lakes.

Upon landing at Mount Cook airfield you will be transferred to an iconic ski plane, the mode of transport for the late Sir Edmund Hillary on some of his trips into the National Park. The flight will take in views of the mighty Tasman Glacier, the longest in New Zealand. On landing you will be knee deep in snow!

On completion of your ski plane flight you will re-board your helicopter to depart to a resort for lunch (lunch is not included in cost). After lunch, we will return you to Akaroa wharf to board your ship. Your pilot will inform and entertain you, pointing out the interesting facts and historical features of our region.

Allow 6 hours for this experience.

Well a huge huge thanks to the team at GCH….we had an absolute blast of a ride with your team member Reagan yesterday over to Akaroa….mum was a bit nervous but he explained everything and made me feel better about it. What an amazing way to see our beautiful country. Totally recommend people to tick this one off on their bucket list…don’t wait like I did for years to do it! Thanks again.

An awesome experience! We flew Christchurch to Akaroa and back. Time for lunch and a quick walk-around in between flights. It was amazing. Highly recommend it. Still buzzing 2 weeks later!
