Path of Pounamu - Milford Sound Helicopter & Dart River Jet
Description
Spend the day exploring some of the world's most stunning scenery in two of New Zealand's most iconic landscapes. To start off your day you will leave from Queenstown and take a scenic helicopter flight to Milford Sound. Along the way you will see snow capped mountains, glaciers, lakes, braided rivers, rainforests and more.
When you land in Milford your pilot will take you on a short nature walk to see Mitre Peak before flying back past sheer cliffs and gushing waterfalls out to the Tasman Sea where you will land on a beach in the West Coast. Take off again for your flight to Glenorchy with a short stop on the way on a glacier or for a snow landing.
Once in Glenorchy you will embark on your Dart River Jet experience. Your driver will navigate the boat through the braided river system of pristine waters in the World Heritage Area of the Mount Aspiring National Park. After all the excitement you can sit back and relax, taking in the stunning drive as the Dart River Adventures coach takes you back to Queenstown.
