NZ Summer Holiday Ideas for Those With an Adventurous Spirit

New Zealand offers a number of exciting opportunities when it comes to summer holidays, and at Southern Alps Air, we have got a few to offer as well! In fact, we have highlighted a number of summer holiday ideas in New Zealand for those with an adventurous spirit.

Let’s get to it.

Scenic Flights

At Southern Alps Air, we provide a collection of scenic flights to iconic locations in the Southern Alps, including Milford Sound/Piopiotahi, Mt Aspiring/Tititea, Mt Cook/Aoraki, and even a flight that allows you to view all three of these in one! If you have been looking into a Queenstown to Milford flight, we’d like to stop you right there.

Scenic flights from Wanaka instead provides you with longer flight times for even more magnificent views of lakes, rainforests, glaciers, and waterfalls of Fiordland National Park, Dart Valley, and more. Plus, you also have the opportunity to briefly land at Milford Sound and walk around for picture-taking and relishing in the serene ambience. 

Alternatively, you can also book our Milford Sound fly-cruise-fly package that includes a flight to Milford Sound and the chance to cruise along the Sound!

Fly-Walk-Jet Boat Combo

In the meantime, our Siberia Experience package is a must for a unique wilderness adventure for adventurers of all ages. Departing from Makarora, you will fly over the Aspiring National Park and the Siberia Valley, witnessing spectacular views along the way.

Then, you’ll step out onto the Siberia Valley, beginning your trek across and towards the Wilkin River for a jet boat adventure. Find yourself speeding down the Wilkin and Makarora Rivers, admiring the scenery around you. 

You can choose to extend your experience with an overnight stay or with our extended glacier flight!

Instead of choosing a Queenstown to Milford flight, we recommend departing from Wanaka to experience longer flight times that promise more views of the incredible Southern Alps. Alternatively, you can choose a fly-walk-jet boat experience that is perfect for nature lovers. No matter what you prefer, Southern Alps Air offers incredible summer holiday packages for you.
