What a beautiful sunrise
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 Milford Sound, Queenstown, Wanaka and Christchurch.
We have been flying aircraft in the Mount Cook and Westland National Parks since 1970 and, as one of the pioneering families, still own and operate the company. Over the last 50 years we grown from a single aircraft operation to a fleet of 8 aircraft and are one of New Zealand’s largest scenic flight airlines.
