Glacier Helicopters

Take to the skies with Glacier Helicopters and experience New Zealand’s West Coast like never before! From the moment you lift off, you’re treated to jaw-dropping views of towering peaks, ice-blue glaciers, rugged valleys, and roaring glacial rivers.

Whether you’re on a quick scenic flight or a full-day adrenaline-packed adventure, every second thrills and inspires. Land on ancient ice, step into shimmering crevasses, and feel the power and majesty of the glaciers beneath your feet. Expert pilots guide you safely while sharing fascinating stories of the region’s geology, wildlife, and history, bringing the landscape to life.

Popular flight options:

Snow Landing 20 minutes: Fly up the Franz Josef or Fox Glacier, above native bush, and the glacier face, landing at the head of the glacier. Cast your eyes around to enjoy the views this special location provides.

Twin Glacier 30 minutes: The same as the Snow Landing Flight – instead of one glacier you get two! Fly from either Franz Josef or Fox Glacier to experience this epic journey.
