WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SKI PLANE AND HELICOPTER FLIGHTS?
Both aircraft have the same flight path and landing sites on the Tasman Glacier. The Ski Plane will shut down the engine on every landing so you can fully appreciate the ‘natural quiet’ of the alpine environment. As one of only a few places in the world that offer this kind of product, a Ski Plane flight is a truly unique and memorable experience.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR ON THE FLIGHT?
All you will need is a light sweater or jacket, sunglasses, closed in shoes and of course a camera.
