What you can expect

The ultimate, thrilling and unforgettable snow adventure!

This is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown. Your journey starts with a scenic helicopter flight directly across the stunning Remarkables Mountain Range, over the Hector Mountains before reaching the base camp in the Nevis River Valley. 

Here you will get suited and booted for your amazing adventure with coveralls, a helmet, gloves and boots. You'll be briefed on safely riding and controlling your snowmobile before climbing aboard the snowmobile to feel the rev of the engine! Everyone will have the chance to try them out and become familiar before departing in convoy. Your qualified guide will take you on an epic 1.5 hour snowmobile adventure across the Garvie range, which is the most inland mountain range in New Zealand.  You'll be in complete awe of the surrounding areas throughout the duration of your entire trip and will have the opportunity to stop and check out the breathtaking views across to Mt Cook, Mt Aspiring National Park and even down to Stewart Island on a clear day.
