The Mackenzie Region covers almost 7,500 square kilometres – consisting of turquoise glacial lakes, golden tussock lands, braided river systems and of course, the Southern Alps.

Surrounded by seemingly endless mountain ranges, scenic flight tours of the Mackenzie Region are an absolute must-do to get up close to the highest peaks, including Aoraki/Mount Cook and capture the ultimate view.

While in the sky, you’ll get an in-depth narration from your pilot on how the landscape below was formed, including the valleys sculpted by the glaciers you can still see today.

No matter what season you decided to fly, you will be treated to a bucket-list adventure that everyone visiting the region should experience.
