Vol 07 - New Zealand Alpine Crossing

■ Tour Overview Route: Queenstown (NZQN) to Tokoroa (NZTO) Duration: Approximately 3/4 hours Flight Distance: 560 nautical miles

Experience New Zealand's breathtaking diversity on this extraordinary aerial expedition that traverses both the South and North Islands, showcasing the dramatic geological forces that created Aotearoa's legendary landscapes.

Journey from the adventure capital of Queenstown through the towering Southern Alps, across the Canterbury Plains, over Cook Strait, and into the volcanic heart of the North Island.

Your flight path follows ancient Māori migration routes and reveals how tectonic activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire continues to shape New Zealand's dynamic terrain. From glacial lakes carved by ice age forces to active volcanic zones where the earth's crust remains restless, this expedition provides unparalleled perspectives on the geological processes that make New Zealand one of the world's most geologically active and scenically diverse nations.

• Pristine Southern Alps glacial lakes and mountain peaks
• Spectacular Canterbury Plains river systems and agricultural patterns
