The World is a Circus

New Zealand From Above: West Coast

Get ready for a wild ride above the New Zealand West Coast. The lovely and lush West Coast is also called Glacier Country; you’ll soon understand why. This area has it all, mountains, lakes, glaciers and forests right next to each other!

I think everyone agrees that New Zealand is one of the prettiest countries in the world, but most of us never get to see it from above. With my New Zealand From Above-series I’m giving you a chance to discover it in a birds’ eye view. Believe me, wherever fly in New Zealand, you will enjoy it. But, and this is a big but, the glacier region is definitely at the TOP! My flight above the New Zealand West Coast has so far been my favourite one in this country.
