  • Fox Glacier South Side Walk

    The only thing better than one glacier is two glaciers, so why not experience twice the ice. Explore the glacial ice falls of the mighty Fox Glacier and the incomparable Franz Josef Glacier on this twin 30-minute helicopter flight from Fox Glacier. Each Glacier has its own different characteristics but both are magnificent and make for an unforgettable West Coast experience.  You will discover up close their neve and unusual ice formations - landing on the snowfields is a highlight and will make for superb photos, snowballs and memories.  It’s an adventure you'll remember forever and is often cited as a highlight of a New Zealand trip by holidaymakers

    15 minutes

  • Franz Josef Glacier

    Steeper and more dramatic or epic vastness and more remote? Take our Twin Glacier flight and you don't have to choose. This trip includes a snow landing and the chance to experience two very different glacial formations. This is the perfect trip to encounter both jaw-dropping glaciers, Fox and Franz Josef.

Franz Joseph Glacier landing lifetime memory!

Published on Feb, 2025

Beg, borrow, steal the money for the 30 minute flight! It’s better than words can say! I was pressed into taking the flight at a river site sales office by a guy called Kevin. Mate you are a hero. No one should miss this.

Fantastic

Published on Feb, 2025

Simply the best, an absolute must do. Perfect day. Awesome pilot James. We did this as a celebration of our 15th Wedding Anniversary.

Wonderful experience

Published on Feb, 2025

The views were amazing, and the staff was great. The weather was poor most of the day, but when the visibility finally opened up, they were ready to go. They had kept me informed all along the way so that I was able to make the flight. The pilot pointed out sights and was helpful with pictures while we were landed on the glacier. Everyone was great.

Definitely one for the bucket list!

Staggering scenery. I could have stayed on the glacier for longer, just to soak in the views. Great pilot - all very interesting.

Good value, incredible trip - all too short though!

Published on Feb, 2025

An unbelievable trip. We had tried to go from Mt Cook (rained - low cloud - cancelled) and then Franz Joseph a week later (got as far as the helicopter door but the clouds rolled in - cancelled). Finally managed to get airborne but weather scuppered our chances of a circuit of Mt Cook so we settled for the two glaciers. Superb views, great landing, interesting pilot - would happily have gone up for twice the time and spent twice the money as it was all over far too quickly.
