Description:

One of the best ways to experience the magnificent landscapes of New Zealand's Southern Alps is from the window seat of an airplane. Soar over ancient glaciers, glacial lakes, and the highest mountain in New Zealand before landing at a scenic village founded during the gold rush.

At Queenstown Airport, hop aboard your plane that seats a maximum of 7 people, allowing you an unobstructed window seat. With your headset on, listen as your pilot points out the former gold mining areas of Mace Town and the Arrow River. Stare down into the clear waters of Lake Wanaka, before reaching the Southern Alps.

Lose yourself as you fly over glaciers and their lakes, pristine white snowfields, and the steep peak of Mount Aspiring. Next, admire New Zealand’s highest mountain, the 12,000-foot (3,658-m) Mount Cook with its jagged serrations and sharp outlines.

After landing at the airstrip that services the Fox Glacier and township, explore the scenic Alpine town, surrounded by vast mountain vistas.

On the return journey, you trace the west coast, flying over rainforests and remote beaches before landing at Queenstown Airport.
