Overview

Soar over the Southern Alps, take in breathtaking views during an 8 minute scenic helicopter flight and walk a trail of High Country history on the Glentanner High Country Heli Hike.

Travel somewhere new in the Aoraki Mount Cook region, away from the familiar tourist route. This guided tour grants exclusive access to private land on family-owned Glentanner Station, one of New Zealand’s most historic and iconic stations, set in one of the country’s most magnificent landscapes.

It’s a journey back through time, to the rough and rugged early days of high country farming, and further, to the ancient past when glaciers carved the land to form the spectacular Mackenzie Country.

-Approximately 3.5 hour tour (4 Hours with Check-In and Helicopter Safety Briefing)
-Scenic Helicopter flight to a landing point high on Glentanner Station land.
-Knowledgeable & friendly guide to take you along a 7KM, well-maintained, 4x4 track.
-Access our fully restored Historic Field Station and exhibition.
