Scenic Glacier Adventures on New Zealand’s South Island
Soar above one of New Zealand’s most iconic natural wonders with Franz Josef Helicopter Flights. These unforgettable aerial experiences give you a breathtaking view of the South Island’s rugged West Coast, where towering mountains and ancient icefields meet lush rainforest. From the air, the full scale and beauty of the Franz Josef Glacier comes to life.
Depending on the flight length, you’ll also have the chance to see neighbouring Fox Glacier and even catch glimpses of Mt. Cook and Mt. Tasman. Best of all, many tours include a glacier landing — giving you the rare chance to step out onto the ice and take in the frozen landscape up close.
Choose from Scenic or Private Flight Options
Flights typically range from 25 to 45 minutes, with options tailored for every traveller. Whether you prefer a quick scenic flight or a more exclusive private experience, both are designed to showcase the region’s dramatic beauty.
Standing on the glacier surrounded by snowy peaks is something you’ll never forget. Franz Josef Helicopter Flights are more than a tour — they’re a memory in the making.
