Tour:
At 3724m, Aoraki/Mt Cook is New Zealand’s highest peak, however, the mountain can be viewed without any acclimatisation whatsoever from nearby Aoraki/Mt Cook village which is just 750m above sea level, making this fully guided, small-group day tour perfect for all fitness levels.
Your guided tour begins with hotel pick-ups in Queenstown (selected pick up points only). You will then make your way through the stunning Kawarau Gorge, Cromwell and the quaint township of Omarama, where you'll have the option to taste the best creamy chicken pie in NZ (in their opinion)! You will then climb up through Lindis Pass, one of only three alpine roads through the otherwise impassable Southern Alps.
Your next stop is Lake Pukaki, one of the bluest lakes you will ever see, framed by the backdrop of Aoraki/Mt Cook and the Southern Alps. You will also see the location of several scenes from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Arriving at the alpine village of Aoraki/Mt Cook and The Hermitage (home of the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre) you then have 4 hours to explore many of the village’s popular activities and attractions including:
- Hikes and walks (free): Multiple walks in the area, from the Tasman glacier lake short walk to the 3-hour Hooker Valley Track. They can drop you off at and pick you up from the start of the walks if you don’t want the added distance and time required if starting from the Hermitage. Their guides are well-versed in the local tracks and are more than happy to help you choose the right walk or track for you.
- Heli-Hiking: additional $585 per person (Minimum age 10 years)
- Scenic Heli-Flight - Glacier Encounter: additional $380 per person
- Ultimate Alpine Experience - Heli flight one way/ Ski plane one way with Glacier Landing in between: additional $399 per person
- The Grand Circle - 55 min Scenic Flight: additional $599
- Whatever you choose to do, whether relaxed or adventurous you will have four hours to enjoy the simply outstanding region of Aoraki/Mt Cook, and we’ll transport you to wherever you want to go.
At the end of the day, you will farewell Aoraki/Mt Cook Village and make your way back to Queenstown for hotel drop-offs. On the way, they stop in at High Country Salmon, a local salmon farm, where you can feed the fish and taste some of the freshest salmon in New Zealand, selecting from the farm’s fresh salmon-based menu.
