Mt Aspiring Helicopter Flight with Alpine Landing & Jet Boat

Get ready for the ultimate adventure with a helicopter and jet boat combo experience. Your journey starts with a 25-minute helicopter flight, soaring high above the Wilkin and Makarora rivers before entering Mount Aspiring National Park.
