Experience New Zealand’s Mountains by Air

New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most breath-taking scenery, and there’s no better way to admire it than from the air – the award winning Grand Traverse flight with Air Safaris is something that absolutely needs to go on your bucket list! Explore the stunning Mount Cook, Westland National Parks and more in the flight of a lifetime.

The Grand Traverse is widely recognised as the premier flying experience on the Southern Island. You’ll fly around 200km of unmatched beauty around two of New Zealand’s World Heritage National Parks, seeing a variety of remarkable scenery – from the highest snow-capped mountains to the serene, clear blue lakes; from the spectacular ice fields of the west coast to the lush green rainforests. Be amazed by New Zealand’s highest mountain, Mount Cook, as it pierces the clouds at a mighty 3754m tall – it’s no wonder it featured as the Lonely Mountain in Lord of the Rings! Marvel at Tasman glacier, the countries longest glacier that spill down to the rainforests.

You’ll be flying in a safe, modern aircraft, where every passenger of the flight has their own window. The pilot will provide a welcoming and informative service, so at the end of your flight you’ll know everything there is to know about these astounding landscapes. The Grand Traverse cannot be left out of any New Zealand itinerary – it’s an unforgettable experience and a fantastic way to see some of the countries most spectacular scenery!
