Experience the magnificent glacial landscape of Franz Josef on our scenic helicopter flight!
Our friendly team welcome you aboard our helicopters for an unforgettable experience flying over the stunning glacial landscape of Franz Josef including a 10 minute snow landing.
We are a family owned and operated company who are passionate about what we do and we look forward to showing you the glaciers, rainforests and mountains that form our incredible back yard.
The Glacier Explorer flight includes views of Franz Josef Glacier, Southern Alps and Mt Ellie de Beaumont.
You’ll be flying in one of our two great types of machines either an AS350 B2 Squirrel or MD520 Notar, we take off from our private helipad and you are in capable hands with our experienced pilots (often with Gus our owner operator). Get up close with the local glaciers including the Franz Josef, Fox & Tasman depending on your flight choice, you’ll be amazed at the size of them and their crevasses, fly amongst the Southern Alps before a snow landing with plenty of time for photos, snowballs and to admire the views from the Tasman Sea to Mt Cook.
So glad you enjoyed it Peter!
Loved every minute of it, thanks Mike.

Cheers guys thanks for taking the time to write a review. It was our pleasure to show you are amazing back yard. catch you next time. stay safe GCH team
This was really an amazing experience, the whole deal, the flight, the view, the snow landing. We have been lucky to have had some incredible nature experiences all over the world and this was up there with the best of them. The reception team and our pilot Gus were relaxed and friendly, but thoroughly professional. Only warning is to do this at the end of your holiday otherwise everything else you do after may seem a bit average!
Thanks for taking the time to write a review it is a real big boost to the whole team to hear how happy everyones experience was. We have had such a great time flying all our guest in our amazing back yard with this amazing weather. Stay safe and catch you next time
