Description
Discover the magic of Middle Earth on our flagship helicopter flight. Soar over a remote high-country station as you head toward the towering Mt Earnslaw, taking in sweeping views of this stunning alpine landscape.
Experience a close-range flyover of the breathtaking “hanging” Earnslaw Glacier, a spectacular natural wonder that captivates every visitor with its rugged beauty and icy grandeur.
Your journey culminates with an exclusive landing in the serene lower basin, where you can fully immerse yourself in the incredible surroundings, surrounded by pristine wilderness and cascading waterfalls.
*In winter months (June – August) the Earnslaw Burn does not have as many fast flowing waterfalls compared to our spring and summer months (September – March). It is still a stunning and magical location to visit during winter as there is usually extra snow coverage on the glacier and throughout the valley.
