The Ultimate Glacier Country Flight

Take off on the Pilot's Choice Scenic Flight—an exhilarating 35-minute helicopter journey showcasing the best of Franz Josef Glacier Country. Glide above lush rainforests, glacier-carved valleys, and soaring peaks as your pilot handpicks a route highlighting Franz Josef, Fox, or Tasman Glaciers in the context of the Southern Alps. Nature fans and photographers alike will love the dramatic aerial views of Mt Cook and Mt Tasman unfolding beneath you.

The experience includes an unforgettable 10-minute snow landing in a remote, pristine alpine setting—perfect for photos and pure mountain immersion. This helicopter adventure isn't just a flight: it's a journey into the wild heart of New Zealand, blending thrill, beauty, and serenity amidst constantly shifting alpine weather.
