Take to the skies on a thrilling helicopter flight over the Franz Josef or Fox Glaciers!

Highlights

  • 20 minute scenic flight
  • Snow landing

The rugged West Coast is home to some of the most dramatic landscapes in New Zealand where the mountains meet the Tasman Sea and where rainforests make way to Glaciers.

Only here can glaciers be found in such a majestic setting, in such close proximity to the Sea, making Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers truly unique. Feel the anticipation build as you board our state of the art helicopter with large viewing windows and gently lift off on your adventure.

You'll experience awe-inspiring views from the get-go as we make our way to either the Fox or Franz Josef Glacier. This exclusive flight also includes a snow landing allowing you to play in the snow or simply soak up the stunning views of this untouched wilderness.

Come and experience with us a truly magical alpine wonderland!

Fantastisch

Wir buchten den Gletscherflug nur wenige Stunden davor, da die Wetteraussichten gut waren. Wir hätten uns auch gerne 2 Gletscher angesehen, doch diese Flüge waren alle ausgebucht. Wir hatten dann auch um 10.24am mächtig Glück, die Sonne schien, der Pilot war gut drauf, er erzählte etwas, aber man schaut nur und filmt und ist ganz begeistert, Er flog ganz knapp über das Gletschereis und landete dann darauf. Man konnte sich umschauen, fotografieren oder in den Schnee, gekörntes Eis, werfen , fantastisch.

Atemberaubende Erfahrungen

Der Flug war eine atemberaubende Erfahrung. Auch wenn es nicht lange war, hat die Zeit dennoch ausgereicht und es war beeindruckend. Der Pilot war super und machte auch ein paar Bilder von mir- da ich alleine unterwegs war. Auch das Team im Büro war sehr nett.

Top Erlebnis

Absolut professionell und sehr freundlich. Wegen einer Wolke war die Landung fraglich, daher konnten wir kostenfrei abbrechen. Wir haben es trotzdem versucht und alles hat sehr gut funktioniert. Sehr netter Flug und tolle Scheelandung mit vielen Fotos. 6 Plätze im Heli, nur 4 besetzt.

Kurz aber klasse! !!

Ein wirklich toller Ausflug, wenn auch mit gut 20 Minuten Dauer eigentlich viel zu kurz. Dafür gibt es aber einen super Heliflug mit Zwischenlandung auf einem Schneefeld in Gipfelnähe. Mehr kann man nicht für den Preis erwarten. Ich gebe eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!
