The Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail starts at the White Horse Hill Campground, which is 2km north of Mt Cook Village. From here, a 7.2km off-road trail takes you to Mount Cook Airport [8km], where riders will need to make a short helicopter flight across the Tasman River to Tasman Point.
Travelling in a helicopter across a glacially-fed braided river with New Zealand’s highest mountain in view is a must do.
The helicopter can carry up to 6 passengers at a time (depending on weight limits).
