It’s a journey back through time, to the rough and rugged early days of high country farming, and further, to the ancient past when glaciers carved the land to form the spectacular Mackenzie Country.

-Approximately 3.5 hour tour (4 Hours with Check-In and Helicopter Safety Briefing)
-Scenic Helicopter flight to a landing point high on Glentanner Station land.
-Knowledgeable & friendly guide to take you along a 7KM, well-maintained, 4x4 track.
