A landing on Chest Peak - one of the highest mountains in the Canterbury Region

Overview

Discover the picturesque Southern Alps, one of New Zealand's most iconic land features. Fly over the immense checkerboard of the Canterbury Plains, across the tresses of the braided Waimakiriri River and to the sheer sides of a steep gorge to touch down at Chest Peak. Sitting at just under 6,500ft, the peak dwarfs most other mountains in the region. Take in breathtaking, 360 degree vistas stretching from as far as the eye can see, including the Blockbuster backdrops of Castle Hill, the Lees Valley, Flock Hill Station and beyond. All our pilots proudly call Canterbury home and will share their wealth of knowledge and personal anecdotes as you fly near their much-loved and noteworthy spots. Please note we are unable to guarantee snow at any time particularly during Summer months (November – February). Please note this flight does not include glaciers, however if glaciers are what you are interested in please see our 'Rakaia Glaciers' or 'World in a day' experiences!
