Take in spectacular views of Franz Josef Glacier, the Southern Alps and Mt Elie de Beaumont before an approximately 10-minute alpine landing.

Discover Glacier Country on a Scenic Helicopter Flight

The Glacier Explorer Helicopter Flight offers a memorable introduction to the dramatic alpine scenery surrounding Franz Josef. From the air, see the vast expanse of Franz Josef Glacier and the rugged peaks of the Southern Alps, including Mt Elie de Beaumont. The approximately 10-minute alpine landing gives you the opportunity to step out into the mountain environment, with the possibility of landing on snow when seasonal conditions permit.

At 25 minutes, this is the operator’s shortest scenic flight to include an alpine landing and is a good choice for travellers wanting to experience Glacier Country in a limited amount of time. The flight route and landing location are weather dependent, and there are fewer alternative route options than on longer scenic helicopter flights, so conditions on the day will determine the exact experience.
