Siberia Experience, Lake Wanaka

Departing from Makarora, the half-day Siberia Experience Fly-Walk-Jetboat tour is a thrilling combination tour by air, land and water.

Beginning from the air, you will depart for a 25-minute scenic flight over Mt Aspiring National Park, a jagged area of mountains and river valleys that surrounds the 3033 metre Mt Aspiring.

After landing, you will follow the Siberia Valley on foot, travelling on a 3-hour bush walk to the bubbling Wilkin River, where your jet boat awaits.

Boarding the jet boat, you will depart for a 30-minute ride, zipping through the lush green bush and forests while your driver shows off the knuckle-whitening acrobatics that make jet boats so popular.

An incredibly rewarding tour, this journey takes travellers into some of New Zealand’s most primitive and remote scenery, where mountains, rivers, glaciers and lakes reveal a land alive with thick rainforest and intriguing wildlife.
