Mount Cook Ski Planes made aviation history in 1955 with the first fixed wing Ski Plane landing on the Tasman Glacier. From this early pioneering spirit a premiere tourism company was formed which has shaped tourism in this region. Today we operate a modern fleet of ski equipped Ski Planes and B2/B3 Squirrel Helicopters ensuring comfortable access to this remote alpine environment. We are still the only scenic flight operator based in the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park and certified to land on the mighty Tasman Glacier. Let our experienced mountain pilots share with you this very special alpine environment.

Banks Peninsula's Best

Lyttelton Harbour is the flooded crater of an extinct volcano, providing spectacular views, boating, sailing, and swimming. It was the landing place for the first Canterbury Settlers, the First Four Ships arriving late in December 1850.
Lyttelton is now a working port, transporting many thousands of tonnes of goods. Homes crowd around the natural amphitheatre, many of them restored cottages and houses from the first settlers.
