Highlights
Departing from our Te Anau lakeside base, the journey begins by soaring over Lake Te Anau. Soak up views of the Hidden Lakes before flying above the local’s playground. We land at a mountain tarn – take a breath of crisp alpine air and enjoy rugged mountain views over the Main Divide.
Once airborne again, you’ll fly over the remote Kepler Mountains before getting dropped off at the Luxmore Hut. Enjoy stunning views over the South Arm of Lake Te Anau before beginning your hike on the Kepler Great Walk trail.
The track is easy to follow, but we’ll provide you with a map and a full briefing before departure. You have the option to make it a half or full day trip.
