Overview

Discover the wonders of both the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers in one scenic flight. Soar across pinnacles and crevasses and witness the deep blue ice of glacier country. The ultimate trip for any glacier lover, with a landing on the snow

When the weather is right you may have the opportunity to cross over the ridge separating the two glaciers – an absolutely jaw-dropping moment in a helicopter. Take advantage of the terrific photo opportunities of Aoraki/Mt Cook (New Zealand’s highest mountain) and Mt Tasman while landed on the snow.

Essential gear for snow landings:
