The tour begins with an exhilarating helicopter flight to a high point on Glentanner Station. Take in dramatic views of Lake Pukaki, the Tasman River Valley and Aoraki/Mount Cook towering over the landscape in the distance.

After leaving the helicopter the tour continues on foot with an easy walk down a picturesque farm track. The track descends gradually along alpine tarns and beneath towering peaks.

Your guide will share stories of the station’s history, geological features, flora, fauna and present-day operations. The walk also includes a break at a historic private hut with morning or afternoon tea provided.
