Mt Cook / Fiordland

FIORDLAND MOUNT COOK

Described by Rudyard Kipling as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’, located in the beautiful Fiordland region of New Zealand, Milford Sound is set within a world heritage region often called the Sightseeing and Walking Capital of the world.

THE GLACIERS

Remnants of the ice age cascade from the snowfields of the Southern Alps to valley floors 300 meters above sea level. Nowhere else in the world’s temperate climates are glaciers so accessible. With glaciers covering nearly half of the Aoraki / Mt Cook area you’ll have plenty of glacial option to choose from.

There are a range of guided excursions available that will provide professional guides who will give full explanations regarding the geological features, flora and fauna of the area.

If seeing the glaciers from above is more to your liking, there are helicopter and fixed wing aircraft that also provide scenic flights and snow landings amidst New Zealand’s highest peaks, overlooking these glaciers. A range of walks exist, surrounding glaciers in New Zealand that provide excellent points for viewing the glacier as well as exploring the surrounding rainforest environments.
