Taking you from Aoraki Mount Cook Airport or Franz Josef directly into the heart of the Southern Alps including Aoraki/Mount Cook and the Tasman Glacier, Mount Cook Ski Planes offer the most spectacular alpine scenic flight in the world.

After an awe inspiring flight through breathtaking scenery your ski equipped aircraft lands on one of the glaciers in the Mount Cook or Westland National Park, the engine is stopped, and you alight onto the glacier where climbers would take hours or days to reach.

With the engine shut down you are able to experience the "natural quiet" of the mountains, broken only by the occasional avalanche or sounds from the glacier as it makes its way down the mountain.

Special Features: Visit New Zealand's highest peak at over 3750m and the Tasman Glacier, one of the longest glaciers in the world.
