Duration

1 hour 20 minutes

About

Departing our Te Anau base we leave the shores of Lake Te Anau and fly over the Waiau River, which along its shores sits the Kepler Track, one of New Zealand’s famous Great Walks.

Lake Manapouri will appear as we head for stunning Norwest Lake for a beautiful scenic landing opportunity. You’ll soon see why Fiordland was a key region for filming the landscapes of Middle-Earth. Once airborne again we fly over Borland Road leading to Green Lake before the flight path takes you over a geological marvel, Mt Titiroa, which, from a distance, looks capped in snow. We will make a landing here so you can get a close-up view of the magnificent and unique huge white granite formations and small lakes that are visible from the air.

What Should You Bring

• Sunglasses • Closed/covered shoes • Warm clothing - it's usually cooler on the mountain tops so wear a couple of layers • Camera for those Instagram worthy shots but please no drones or selfie sticks • A big smile!
