Siberia Experience

Experience all of the beauty that the New Zealand wilderness has on offer with the one-of-a-kind Siberia Experience. Swoop over breathtaking Alpine valleys and crystal blue lakes as you make your way to a remote backcountry valley through incredible glaciers and stunning, snow capped mountains. Once you arrive, walk across open tussock flats and through a vibrant native rainforest to take in all of the sights. Not only is this a fantastic experience, it’s an incredible way to experience everything at the heart of Mt Aspiring World Heritage National Park.

Thrill-seekers can also skim across a crystal-clear glacial mountain river in the ultimate shallow river jet boating experience. Take in the beautiful scenery filled with native bush, pristine river valleys and ice-capped mountains as you jet along the shallow water with the world flying past you. This really is a unique way to experience all that the national park has to offer.

If you’re looking for a way to experience all of the beauty of Mt Aspiring National Park in one jam-packed journey, the Siberia Experience may be the perfect day trip for you. Take in the sights from the highest highs and the lowest lows, and walk through nature to experience the park in its most natural form.
