Travel story
An ultimate glacier and fjord adventure that lets you fully experience the grandeur of New Zealand’s South Island.
From Queenstown, admire the majestic Milford Sound fjord from aboard a cruise, where the glacier-carved landscapes and thundering waterfalls take your breath away. At Mount Cook, land on a glacier with an alpine experience combining a ski plane and helicopter, bringing you up close to a silver-white world and the vast glacier valleys spread out below.
Hike the Hooker Valley to explore rugged glacial valleys and clear streams, and in the evening enjoy a special time under the Southern Hemisphere’s star-filled skies, imprinting the vastness and tranquility of nature on your heart.
This is a South Island journey that combines sky and land adventures—hiking and scenic flights, glacier experiences and stargazing—for an unforgettable nature experience.
