Expérience en Sibérie : Fly-Hike-Jetboat : Aventure en pleine nature : Wanaka

Just do it. The flight was exciting, very smooth, good landing, then the hike was amazing, fun starting off with the cold river crossing, just below knee deep. The jet boat ride was fun, and Harley was an excellent guide. I’d definitely recommend this experience to anyone

During my trip to New Zealand, I did both the Siberia Experience and Milford Fly-Cruise-Fly with Southern Alps Air. Both were fantastic experiences and had tremendous views! The experiences were a highlight during my trip and I would definitely recommend if you are visiting Wanaka and want a unique experience!

It is by far the best experience i ever had. The guys were very nice, tell you loots of information about the region and the scenery. And the experience is just amazing. Dont doubt yourself and book a Siberian experience. You won’t regret it.

This was my favorite day in New Zealand! Arrive 15 minutes early - even though they don't tell you to do so. They get annoyed if you slow down their schedule. We took a very cool scenic flight around the mountains and valleys of Mt. Aspiring - breathtaking. 5 seater plane. Then we landed in a field. You have to wade across a river to get to the start of the hike. I knew this from reading the reviews. You can bring your own water shoes, go barefoot or borrow from their hodge-podge of their shoes. Our pilot told me it wouldn't get above my knees. I'm 5'3" and it was mid thigh! Not scary, just got my pants wet. The hiking trail is clearly marked. Some up hill and a lot of downhill. A few spots were muddy/slippery, but I'd say a very moderate level of difficulty. There are no real spots along the trail to stop for a bite or a rest. It's pretty much 2-2.5 hours of walking. We saw a few other groups, but most of the time were walking by ourselves. It was pretty, with varied scenery. At the end you come to the river and take a fun jetboat ride back. WEAR BUG SPRAY! You may have to wait 30 minutes for the boat and the sandflies are merciless.

Outstanding experience. The perfect weather made the plane flight epic. The hike was a very doable 4.5mi hike along the water and some in the woods. Crossing the river was FREEZING on the feet. Having the water booties they provided helped with the rocks. The jet boat ride was exciting and a great way to end the excursion. Would highly recommend this. Brian, our pilot and Daniel the jet boat driver were great- friendly, informative and accomplished.

GREAT experience! Traveled with my son on this adventure that includes planes, hiking and a jet boat. Plane holds only 4 people and takes off/lands on a grass field which is a NZ way to start. 20-30 minute flight around the valleys and then landing in Siberian Valley where pictures do not do it justice. Crossing the stream was fun but cold! I suggest packing a small towel to dry your feet off on the other side. They provide water socks/shoes or bring your own. Then it's a 2 -2.5 hour hike. Not very technical, but the decent is the hardest part with some rocky areas. Hiking pole would help in this area, but if you don't have any - you'll be ok. Jet boat ride is a great way to end the tour. This is a great way to experience three activities in one adventure. We stayed in Queenstown and rented a car - about a 2 hour drive, but a beautiful drive worth taking. Entire excursion is about 4 hours. DO THIS ACTIVITY!!!

A super nice trip! In bright weather we enjoyed flight 🤩, hike 👍, a fast jet boat ride😄

Birthday present for my partner. What an amazing adventure we had… all 3 activities in 1 day!! A very well organised company and very pleasant to deal with. We took the 10am flight as we were leaving from Cromwell. We packed a lunch, took our poles (one each) and beach shoes and little towel for the river crossing as recommended on other trip advisor posts. The river was cold but not deep, the walk was not overly hard we had amazing weather and stopped and took lots of photos along the way. We had 20 minutes for lunch in a rocky dry riverbed and then walked onto the jet boat pick up 20 minutes further. We arrived 1hr early for the jet boat but to our luck…. They had room for us and headed back to Makarora. I would definitely recommend this adventure, we loved every minute.

Wauw, the flight in was absolutely beautiful, excellent pilot! Good hike, and really fun jetboat trip

This was one of the finest adventures of my looong life (76). The flight in was scenic and exciting; the track (especially the 1st half) was knock dead gorgeous; and the jet boat was amazing (and I am not a motor type guy in the wilderness, but it was fun). Both the plane pilot and the jet boat driver were really skilled. Worth every penny for a once in a lifetime adventure.
