We offer the only Snowmobiles wilderness experience tours in New Zealand. We have exclusive access to trails and back country riding, by way of helicopter only, with breathtaking views across to Mt Cook, Mt Aspiring and down to Stewart Island on a clear day.
Our tours are all professionally guided by qualified guides.
A courtesy coach is available to pick you up from central Queenstown or your accommodation. We recommend you dress warm (as if you are going up the ski field), wear sensible shoes, bring sunglasses and a camera. That’s all you need as we will provide the rest!
This two hour fully guided snowmobile adventure departs from Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters hangar at Queenstown Airport, taking you on an exhilarating 13 minute flight (approx) across the western face of the Remarkables Mountain Range, over the Hector Mountains and across the Nevis River Valley, where you land at the base of the Garvie Mountains.
After landing at the snowmobile base you will gear up (we provide warm overalls, helmets, gloves, and boots) and have a safety briefing with your friendly and qualified guide. Your guide will ensure you can operate your snowmobile safely and comfortably. We have a maximum of 6 passengers per trip so you reap the benefits of a small group experience.
You are then led through the stunning back country by your guide, along the central most inland mountain range in New Zealand, cruising to an altitude of up to 6,000ft above sea level. Stunning scenery and views will astound throughout the whole experience! With stops along the way for some amazing photo opportunities of the spectacular landscape.
The snowmobile tour will move at a pace comfortable for everyone.
Upon arriving back to the Snowmobiles base, you will then depart by helicopter back to Queenstown (approx. 13 minute flight). A courtesy coach is available to drop you off back in central Queenstown or at your accommodation.
