Southern Alps Taster
The picturesque Southern Alps are one of New Zealand’s most iconic land features. Fly over the vast Canterbury Plains inbound for Chest Peak – one of the highest mountains in the region at just under 6,500 ft. Then land at the top to witness the true breathtaking beauty this magnificent mountain range has to offer, before heading home.
Our pilots will personalise this experience for you by sharing their local knowledge and insights of our big backyard as you fly over remarkable sights and landmarks, including; Claxby, the Lees Valley, the Chest Peak ski field and more.
We have plenty to share with you and can’t wait for you to experience it.
