Private Jet to Queenstown, with a Stop at Aoraki Mt Cook

Flown direct from Auckland, a private jet to Queenstown takes about 1 hr 40 in the air. Add a landing at Aoraki Mt Cook and the day changes completely, for about 20 minutes of extra flying.

Your private jet to Queenstown, step by step

• Auckland to Mt Cook: about 1 hr 30

• Time on the mountain: a few hours, a full day, or a night

• Mt Cook to Queenstown: about 30 minutes

Because the aircraft is chartered to you, it waits while you are on the ground. There is no return service to make and no schedule to keep. You still arrive in Queenstown the day you departed.

What to do at Aoraki Mt Cook

A scenic flight over the glacier, a picnic on the mountain, or for the more adventurous, glacier skiing and ice climbing. For the keen aviator, Mt Cook Skiplanes and Helicopters offer a ski plane and a helicopter on the same day, with a snow landing on the Tasman Glacier. As a guide, for a party of four, the landing and a 45 minute scenic flight with glacier landing is roughly NZ$1,150 including taxes.

Flying in also saves more than six hours of driving from Queenstown and back.
