What you can expect
Take your New Zealand adventure to new heights with an experience that combines a flight, hiking, and river jet boat all in one day. You'll start your journey with a 25-minute helicopter flight into Mount Aspiring National Park. Soar over mountain peaks, lakes, and waterfalls before making an alpine landing with panoramic views of the Mt. Pollux Glacier. Next, you'll fly to and land in the Siberia Valley, where a self-guided three-hour hike through untouched alpine terrain awaits.
Waiting at the valley floor is a 30-minute jet boat ride along two wilderness rivers and past native beech forests and glacial waters. Your guide shares stories of the region’s rich history and geology while performing high-speed spins and turns. With all the essentials included, this trip is the ultimate way to connect with the natural beauty of New Zealand’s Southern Alps.
