Fly in the footsteps of legends like Sir Edmund Hillary & Sir Henry Wigley, the first on board with Mt Cook Ski Planes on September 22nd 1955, on the first-ever Ski Plane, flying up the incredible Tasman Valley and landing on the Tasman Glacier.

Now, you have the chance to experience this Historic and world-exclusive scenic flight, the Ultimate Alpine Combo, which allows you to fly in BOTH a Helicopter and a Ski Plane in one unforgettable product! You can't do anything like this anywhere else in the world.


Taking off, you will enjoy our country’s most incredible views as you soar your way up the Tasman Valley and over the breathtaking blue glacier lakes below. See the Hochstetter Icefall and the cloud-piercing Aoraki/Mt Cook before experiencing the highlight of your journey as you land on the upper snowfields of the Tasman Glacier. The aircraft will fully shut down on landing, allowing you to take in your surroundings, and giving you the perfect video and photo opportunity!

When you’re ready to depart, you’ll then switch aircraft for the ride back down the valley, using the Tasman Glacier as your runway below.

This once-in-a-lifetime, world-exclusive experience is not to be missed, so don’t settle for a standard scenic flight. Elevate your adventure with Mount Cook Ski Planes & Helicopters and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Superbe vue et vol

Vue et vol splendide par contre le début et la fin font vraiment parc animalier, les touristes passent à la chaîne sans considération le langage malpoli, une plus petite industrie serait mieux.

Expérience génial

Nous avons apprecie le service, malgre un changement de programme de derniere minute (le ski plane ne pouvant atterir sur la neige) nous avons quand même fais un tour dans l'avion et le sommet en hélicoptère
