                                              Ultimate Nature Experience

                                              including Dart River Jet boat Safari
                                              A spectacular 35km jet boat trip up the Dart River takes you to the heart of Mount Aspiring National Park. From here we walk through the primeval native forest, where we are the only company permitted to walk. The silence is deafening and the total wilderness is amazing.  We enjoy lunch by a mountain lake and are joined by NZ’s bird-life; Bush Robins, Fantails & Tomtits. After lunch we’ll explore the area where we have an option to visit a secret cave that only our guides know about.
