Siberia Experience

Información

The Siberia Experience offers four hours of unique New Zealand Wilderness Adventure in Mt Aspiring National Park.
Enjoy 25 minutes of stunning views when flightseeing, capturing the rugged beauty of New Zealand's World Heritage National Park. See glaciers, ice, snow, mountain lakes, hanging valleys, vast rain forests and dramatic unspoiled beauty. This spectacular part of the journey ends in the glacially carved Siberia Valley in the middle of the Southern Alps. Towering mountains greet adventurers as they step from the Cessna aircraft onto the valley floor and set off towards the crystal clear waters of Siberia Stream and the walking track.
This freedom (unguided) walk takes 3 hours on a well formed track through river valleys and native beech forest as it weaves its way through the NZ wilderness. Mountain streams, amazing rock formations, mossy tree trunks, native fern, nature of all kinds surrounds - including the inquisitive native bird, the fantail, which will, if people move quietly come to investigate who is visiting their home.
After completing the walk, rendezvous with the jet boat at the pick-up point in the Wilkin Valley for a thrilling and scenic 30 minute mountain river journey back to Makarora.
