GETTING HERE

The Mt. Cook Alpine Salmon farm base has magnificent views of the stunning Southern Alps including Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest and most dramatic mountain.
 
We welcome all visitors to stop at our farm, view and feed our beautiful fish swimming in the canals and purchase fresh and smoked fish to enjoy on site or at home. The scenic drive up the Canal road is a must for any visitor to the South Island.
