One of the best wilderness experiences available - “Gotta do it!”
Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with Heli Siberia Max!

After your scenic flight, you will land at the start of one of New Zealand's great walks and enjoy a 3-hour self-guided hike through the pristine Siberia Valley, immersing yourself in its alpine wilderness and remote, untouched environment. Finish your unforgettable journey with a 30-minute jet boat ride with Wilkin River Jets. Speed through native beech forests and river valleys, surrounded by ice-capped mountains.
