When was the last time you flew across a glacier? Rarely does the opportunity to encounter such unique and jaw-dropping natural scenery arise. So, what better way to fully appreciate the vast scale and grandeur of Aotearoa New Zealand's famous West Coast glaciers than by helicopter? Most of our flights also include a snow landing so you can get up close and personal with the unique surroundings, too.
This flight explores the awe-inspiring ice falls of the Fox or Franz Josef Glaciers. The flight includes a snow landing, an excellent opportunity to really take in the surroundings and breathe the clean alpine air. Experience the seclusion of a snow landing in this largely inaccessible alpine region.
Book NowA first-hand exploration of a glacier by chopper, seeing only what experienced mountaineers can reach is a wilderness experience you’ll never forget. From our Franz Josef Village base, you’ll fly up to the Franz Josef Glacier in the Westland National Park. You’ll land on a section of this 12km long glacier where we’ve made a daily safety assessment of the conditions on this fast-moving ice flow. Equipped with glacier boots and crampons you’ll walk for two hours amongst the ice formations and pinnacles and see first-hand the extraordinary colours of the ice-flow. Touch the ice, breathe in the fresh air.
