They use As350B2 Squirrels for this service. Please note: Heliworks Mount Cook is operated by Southern Lakes Helicopters an established NZ owned helicopter company with an excellent reputation for flying excellence. This is a trip highlight for many as we are rewarded with fantastic views over Lake Pukaki and treated to a delicious home cooked dinner.Ĭycle Distance: Aoraki/Mt Cook Village to Braemar Station - 38km
After a picnic lunch we continue cycling to Braemar Road and on to the backcountry farmstay, Braemar Station. We then cycle along the edge of Lake Pukaki, taking in views of Aoraki/Mt Cook. Using Heliworks Mount Cook we take a short (but breath-taking) heli-flight with our bikes to meet up with the trail on the other side of the Tasman River. We then hop on our bikes and cycle the first 7km to the airport. We also offer a shorter 6 day Alps to Ocean Cycle itinerary that begins from the alternate trail start at Lake Tekapo, see trip code ATC.Īfter breakfast this morning we have time to explore the village some more. This tour can be done in either direction, see Ocean to Alps tours, trip code OTA from Christchurch. A highlight of this trip is the hand picked accommodation where we stay at a mix of lodges, premium backcountry farmstays, motels and luxurious glamping tents. Our journey begins with a stunning heli-flight across the Tasman river before cycling through the vast tussock-lands of the Mackenzie Country, along the braided rivers and vineyards of the Waitaki Valley, all the way to the white-stone township of Oamaru. Meeting in Queenstown, we drive to the base of the mighty Southern Alps. The itinerary has been designed so we cycle the entire length of the Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail, covering 320km of spectacular and diverse country from the official trail start at Aoraki/Mt Cook Village along with exploring some added highlights along the trail.
Our Alps to Ocean End to End is a 7 day cycling adventure allowing you time to fully appreciate the trail from the foot of Aoraki/Mt Cook to the Pacific Ocean.
