Air Safaris Scenic Flights Lake Tekapo
Overview
Experience breath-taking alpine scenery on an exciting scenic flight with Air Safaris from their base at Lake Tekapo on the main highway between Christchurch and Queenstown - a must do South Island attraction.
Lake Tekapo is located in the heart of the beautiful Mackenzie Country surrounded by golden tussock lands and snow-capped mountains. The pristine glacial waters and unique turquoise blue colour of Lake Tekapo are stunning. The Lake Tekapo area offers a wonderful contrast of scenery and activities both in summer and winter.
Air Safaris has operated alpine flight seeing throughout the world heritage national parks of Aoraki Mount Cook and Westland Tai Poutini since 1970. The iconic Air Safaris Grand Traverse scenic flight provides the opportunity to view New Zealand’s highest peaks and longest glaciers. You can catch the Grand Traverse flight from either of Air Safaris’ modern facilities located within the South Island of New Zealand at Lake Tekapo and Franz Josef.
Air Safaris also operate charter flights within New Zealand. These flights provide a personalised service that take in New Zealand’s stunning scenery while linking flexibly with a number of destinations including Christchurch, Queenstown, Wanaka, and Milford Sound.
