Explore the spectacular Mount Aspiring National Park on this thrilling half-day adventure. Journey deep into this UNESCO World Heritage-listed site towards the pristine waters of the Matukituki River. Climb aboard a jet boat for an adrenaline-fuelled ride past soaring mountains, ancient hanging glaciers and cascading waterfalls. Step ashore for a guided wilderness walk through moss-covered forest, glacier-fed streams and the stunning McGills Creek, while learning about the region’s natural history and cultural heritage. Finish with a thrilling return ride on the river, complete with drifts and spins to leave you smiling – and possibly a little soaked – before enjoying return transfers to your accommodation.
