If you’re looking for an experience to write home about, this is it. One of the most unforgettable ways to experience Aoraki/Mount Cook is from the sky!

You'll get breathtaking views of New Zealand’s highest mountains, vast glaciers, and snow-covered valleys that are usually only accessible by expert mountaineers.

The Helicopter Line has been exploring New Zealand's mountains, glaciers, lakes, and rivers for over 38 years and is now the largest helicopter operator in the country.

During your ride, you'll fly over the Southern Alps, soaring past the Tasman Glacier before landing on its upper snowfields. Tasman Glacier is New Zealand's longest glacier and a bucket list experience!

If you choose their 55-minute tour, you’ll also cross the West Coast for a stunning view of Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers. Talk about two birds with one stone! Along the way, you'll listen to commentary about the area from your pilot, making it a once-in-a-lifetime way to witness the raw beauty of Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.
