On-snow time is typically about 10\u201315 minutes on the snow when a landing happens. You fly past and beside the peak \u2014 not across its tip and not onto its summit. The price is from NZ$599 per person. A child price may apply. This flight needs a higher minimum (8 passengers) before it operates.
