Twin Glacier Helicopter Flight departing Fox Glacier

Soar over two of New Zealand's most renowned glaciers, each cloaked in an ice-blue sheen, on this 30-minute helicopter flight. Arrive at the helicopter base for your aerial tour that includes a magnificent snow landing atop either Fox Glacier or Franz Josef Glacier.

Step aboard your twin-engine copter and look out from the six-passenger open cabin to an incomparable aerial vista over the Southern Alps. Hover above fascinating ice forms as your pilot provides interesting narration on the ever-changing glacial landscape.

After a remote landing, step out onto a snowfield above the icefalls. You’ll be captivated by your natural surroundings, including views of Mt Cook/Aoraki, which towers at an elevation of 12,217 feet (3,724 meters).
