Now, you have the chance to experience this Historic and world-exclusive scenic flight, the Ultimate Alpine Combo, which allows you to fly in BOTH a Helicopter and a Ski Plane in one unforgettable product! You can't do anything like this anywhere else in the world.


Taking off, you will enjoy our country’s most incredible views as you soar your way up the Tasman Valley and over the breathtaking blue glacier lakes below. See the Hochstetter Icefall and the cloud-piercing Aoraki/Mt Cook before experiencing the highlight of your journey as you land on the upper snowfields of the Tasman Glacier. The aircraft will fully shut down on landing, allowing you to take in your surroundings, and giving you the perfect video and photo opportunity!

When you’re ready to depart, you’ll then switch aircraft for the ride back down the valley, using the Tasman Glacier as your runway below.

einmaliges Erlebnis

Spektakulär: Wir fanden die Kombination aus Hubschrauberflug und Kleinflugzeug ideal. Besonders spannend war der Start mit dem Flugzeug auf den Gletscher! Die Aussicht und die Erklärung durch die Piloten waren toll, definitiv lohnend

Tolles Erlebnis!

Wir durften zu sechst mit dem Skiplane hoch zu dem Gletscher fliegen - die wolkenlose Aussicht war fantastisch! Oben angekommen landeten wir im Schnee und hatten danach Zeit Fotos zu schießen und den Schnee und die Berge zu bewundern. Danach ging es für uns im Hubschrauber zurück zum Landeplatz. Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Erlebnis (zumindest wenn das Wetter gut ist)!

Flugausfall

Leider ist unser geplanter Flug wegen zu starkem Wind ausgefallen. Wir wurden rechtzeitig informiert, der Service war in Ordnung. Wir hoffen, wir bekommen unser Geld von Ihnen kurzfristig zurück! Viel Grüße Angelika Kirsch

Tolles Erlebnis

Super Angebot, sowohl mit Helikopter als auch Schneeflugzeug fliegen zu können - und das ganz nah an den Bergen und mit fantastischer Aussicht. Ausreichend Zeit auf dem Gletscher. Unbedingt weiterzuempfehlen.

Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis

Zusammengefasst war das Erlebnis mit Heli und Skiplane und der Gletscher Landung natürlich der Wahnsinn. Wir hatten super Wetter und daher auch eine echt tolle Aussicht. Wir sind mit dem Helikopter gestartet und haben dann auf dem Gletscher ins Skiplane gewechselt. Mir persönlich hat das Skiplane sogar mehr spass gemacht weil der Flug einfach etwas spannender und abenteuerlicher war. Der Helikopter Start ist toll und die Möglichkeit hinaus zusehen aber ansonsten fehlte mir dabei ein wenig das Abenteuer weil wir sehr langsam geflogen sind ( und trotzdem nur 10 Minuten ) Organisation und Personal 5 Sterne :)
