Flying across a vast range of areas including the mighty Clutha River, the beautiful Queenstown lakes area, multiple local islands positioned within Lake Wānaka and the golden tussock country of Central Otago. Exploring both the Mount Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks this is an experience of a lifetime, taking in all the very best of New Zealand.
Experience the Southern Alps with views of fresh snow covered mountains, landing on an untouched Glacier before continuing on to view crevasses, shear ice faces of bright blue compacted ice, frozen waterfalls and of course, experience the mighty Mount Aspiring up close and personal. Carrying on to the peaceful Lake Lochnagar, situated amongst the spectacular alpine splendour. You can hear your voices echo amongst the surrounding mountains whilst you enjoy a delicious gourmet picnic, equipped with a locally sourced Central Otago bottle of champagne. Traverse the Southern Alps and fly further West to land on an undisturbed West Coast beach right by the Tasman sea. You will be greeted by the locals, a seal colony. Extend your gaze as far as where the sea meets the ocean and all you can hear are the crashes of the waves at your feet.
From here fly down the wild West Coast and enter the remote mouth of Milford Sound. View the highest sea cliffs in the world, with cascading waterfalls falling deep into the fiord below. Landing at the Milford aerodrome, further your way by foot into Milford Sound with a short bush walk. Taking off again venture deeper into Fiordland National Park to the Sutherland Falls, the 5th highest waterfall in the world which tumble 1,904ft from Lake Quill into Milford Sound.
Complete your trip by carrying on past Glenorchy and the Shotover River, the prime gold rush areas of the 1800’s, and back to reality. This incredible exclusive package will literally widen your horizons and leave you lost for words. You will experience what we call is, the 'World in a Day'.
