[U-Fly Gold Tour]
The Gold Tour - An exhilarating 50 minute South Island alpine flight experience covering 135km

* Allow 1½ hours
* 50 minutes flying, covering 135km

Our Route: After a pilot briefing we take off and climb up to 330 Meters above the ground heading west up the majestic Matukituki valley into the heart of Mount Aspiring World Heritage Park. Passing over the stunning Glendhu Bay area, the Motatapu, the ski area of Treble Cone and into Mount Aspiring National Park we can then view the glaciers in their true glistening glory. You will be flying through a magical scenic wonderland that is only seen by a very privileged few.

Our turn around point is right under Mount Aspiring where we can see her waterfalls cascading down and we are literally at the heart of the Southern Alps. Then we have a low level fly down the Matukituki River. We follow the braided river with its meandering channels down to sparkling Lake Wanaka. On the homeward leg we fly over Mou Wahu Island with a local legend to be learned as we pass by.
