If you cannot join the elite few who make it to the top of the Aoraki/Mount Cook on foot, the next best way is to see it by helicopter. The Helicopter Line offers spectacular scenic flights exposing stunning views of the pristine alpine environment. Traverse the Southern Alps soaring peaks, view Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, Aoraki/Mount Cook and the Tasman Glacier.

Flights vary from 20 minutes to 45 minutes, with pilots sharing their intimate local knowledge of this mountain region. The highlight of any scenic flight is the snow landing and time to enjoy the moment.
