This was a phenomenal experience, given the safety briefing and then watched as the helicopter landed. We took off and from start to finish I had a huge smile on my face. We got to see the glaciers and then landed on it, we had beautiful sunshine and the most surreal moment of the peace , beauty and serenity. If you do one trip this I promise will be a memory you will treasure for a lifetime .

The helicopter flight and landing on the glazier was just awesome with breathtaking views. The pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly and great with his instructions and taking photos. Very hard to describe the scenary. I must do experience. The movie experience on site is also very worthwhile to do.

Great thrill. Stunning views on a blue sky day. Felt safe with the pilot and ground crew. Liked the way we changed seats around on the trip back so everyone had a great view.

Soar above Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers on an extended helicopter flight showcasing New Zealand’s most dramatic alpine scenery. Fly over towering peaks, deep glacier valleys, and sweeping icefalls before landing on snow atop Franz Josef Glacier for a truly memorable alpine moment.

What to expect
