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!

預訂最好問清楚

此次預訂是包含雪地停留,一開始在櫃台處要求我們聽所有的安全規則,結果走到停機坪,在我們要準備上機的前一刻才告知沒有雪地降落這件事,問我們還要繼續嗎?請問我們都已經滿心期待了能不繼續嗎?

From Neve Discoverer - 20 Minute Helicopter Flight

Hi there, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We do our best to keep our guests informed with regards to the weather and unfortunately on the day you flew with us they changed last minute on the helicopter pads. We explained this prior to boarding the helicopter so our guests were aware of the weather situation. We would have been unable to land for safety. Guests do have the option of opting out if we cannot guarantee a landing. We do apologise if the not communicated clearly and wish you a safe onward journey. Kind Regards, The Helicopter Line, West Coast

Neve discover flight

So pleased we did this flight from the personal service prior, the amazing flight and safety consciousness. The pilot was very knowledgeable, the flight smooth and such an amazing experience landing on the snow looking at mt Tasman and mt cook in the distance. Very professional company and we're already looking forward to the next time we can fly with them.
