Visit six awe inspiring Glaciers by Helicopter topped off with a Snow Landing!

Highlights

  • View six stunning glaciers in beautiful Hokitika!
  • Enjoy a magical snow landing on your flight back
  • Learn the history of the alpine wilderness of Hokitika

Discover the majestic Southern Alps from up above as we showcase six different glaciers directly inland of Hokitika.

Your experienced pilot will enthrall you with interesting commentary on the lands history as you visit a host of beautiful scenic locations with vast expansive views of native bush and beautiful alpine terrain - opening your eyes to the stunning beauty of New Zealand.

Be amazed at the snow melt from the glaciers as we pass over, creating unbelievable unspoiled crystal clear water. You'll see remote areas not normally visited, including locations where Pounamu (greenstone) and gold are found and historic deer stalker huts. If you're lucky you may even spot wild alpine animals like the Himalayan Tahr!

On the flight home we stop off at a magical snow landing location offering 360 degree views of snow covered alpine mountains that touch the West Coast sea.

The surreal feeling of standing in this environment only tops off a day of mind blowing views - a true pure New Zealand experience.
