This one-day small-group tour takes you from Queenstown into the heart of New Zealand’s South Island to Aoraki Mount Cook, the region’s tallest peak often called the “Cloud Piercer.” As you travel through the Southern Alps, you’ll pass across Mackenzie Country and enter Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, enjoying dramatic alpine scenery and the wide high-country landscapes that surround the mountain.
You will have free time in Mt Cook Village, set beneath the peaks and above a small alpine town that is home to the area’s longest glacier and many well-known hiking tracks. During your visit you can choose how to spend that time—explore the immediate scenery on a short local hike, opt for a scenic flight over the peaks and glaciers, or simply have a relaxed afternoon in the village soaking up the views. Along the way, expect opportunities to see classic Southern Alps features and to learn about the park’s striking alpine environment.
