Take a scenic helicopter tour of the world renowned Franz Joseph & Fox Glaciers!

Highlights

  • 30 minute scenic flight
  • Alpine landing

This 30-minute scenic flight will provide a bird's eye view of one of the most incredible landscapes in the world.

Only in the West Coast of New Zealand can glaciers be found in such a dramatic setting. An awe-inspiring place where the mountains meet the Tasman Sea and where rainforests make way to Glaciers.

You'll experience breathtaking views from the moment we are airborne from the comfort of our aircraft with large viewing windows. Capture mesmerising views of the glacier as it winds slowly down the carved valleys from its origin in the mountains high above you.

We will then land at the head of either the Franz Josef Glacier or Fox Glacier so you can capture the perfect selfie, play in the snow or simply soak up the incredible alpine atmosphere. A truly unforgettable adventure in an untouched alpine wonderland!

satisfait

cette expérience est magnifique, on en a pris plein les yeux, si vous avez la chance d'une météo favorable, la neige et les glaciers étaient étincellants de blanc, la maitrise technique du pilote, et l'organisation de la compagnie d'hélicoptère parfaites. Sur le site de book me , en tarif promotion nous avons économisé 20 % sur le tarif, en réservant la veille, c'est ce qui nous a décidé à réserver, car le prix de base est élevé, mais cela le mérite.

Notre expérience décalée d’une journée en raison des conditions météo, s’est faite avec un super soleil, un peu de vent sur les sommets. Les glaciers vus du ciel c’est une très belle expérience.

Mauvais temps, pas de sortie

Malheureusement le mauvais temps a gâché cette experience car l’helicopter n’a pas sortie. J’ai compris la situation même si j'étais déçu. Par contre, la communication sur place n’était pas la meilleure. Il m’a faut demander plusieurs fois si la sortie aurait lieu ou pas car les employés n’ont rien dit. Trois semaines après je suis toujours dans l’attente de mon remboursement.

From Twin Glacier - 30 Minute Helicopter Flight

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us valuable feedback. We are sorry the weather prevented you from flying. The weather does play a major role in our operations and due to how quickly it can change, we do not make our weather calls until the day of travel at the check-in time. This gives our guests the most opportunity to be able to go. We will look into ways to improve on the service we provide. I can confirm that your refund has been processed from our end. Should you still be waiting on your refund, please follow up with your booking agent. We wish you a safe journey home. Kind Regards, The Helicopter Line, West Coast

magnifique sortie !!!!

Baptême d’hélicoptère lors d’une magnifique journée ensoleillée. La balade est rapide mais le point de vue est magnifique. Petit arrêt au sommet de Fox Glacier (environ 15 min). On se croirait seul au monde. Bon rapport qualité-prix pour une sortie en hélico.
