Itinerary

  • Franz Josef Glacier

    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. 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

  • Fox Glacier South Side Walk

    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.

Great memories, fabulous scenery

Published on Feb, 2025

We were delayed due to the weather. This company had no trouble refunding or rescheduling our ride. We went in the afternoon and it was a fabulous experience. The pilot was careful and offered good commentary. He was friendly and took some nice pictures for us. We have good pictures and great memories. Thank you very much.

Amazing and professional.

Simply a breathtaking trip that topped our visit. The helicopter ride was excellent and the pilot informed us of the natural history of the glaciers and helped take pictures. Highly recommended.

An amazing ride!!
