Mount Aspiring National Park

A true day of New Zealand adventure in Mount Aspiring National Park:

A flight into the backcountry on a 4-seater plane




A river crossing



A lovely hike out to the river with a picnic in the field courtesy of our guide who brought the food via jet boat



Then a ride out on said jet boat. These boats only need a couple inches of water to go and are the invention of a New Zealand native. Skilled captains drive these boats with a vengeance, spinning them in every direction making it seem like you are on a roller coaster.




After this wonderful day we drove to Queenstown for a free day and a beautiful sunset:
