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!

Erwartungen voll erfüllt

Bei herrlichem Sonnenschein ein sehr beeindruckendes Erlebnis dieses gewaltigen Natuschauspiels. Von den Gletschern direkt auf die Tasmanische See blicken zu können und unten den Regenwald zu haben. Auch der Aufenthalt auf dem schneebedeckten Gletscher war sehr eindrucksvoll. Der sehr freundliche Pilot Simon vermittelte wissenswerte Informationen und machte das Ganze zu einer runden Sache.

Tolle Erfahrung, gern wieder?

Wir haben erst mit uns gerungen, ob wir überhaupt fliegen, schließlich ist es eine Menge Geld für 30 Minuten. Aber: es war jede Sekunde Wert! Man kann gar nicht erfassen, wie groß und eindrucksvoll diese Gletscher sind, bis man sie aus der Luft gesehen hat. Das Team wirkte sehr professionell, leider hat sich das Wetter kurzfristig geändert, sodass eine Landung nicht möglich war. Das Gute daran war,dass wir eine Rückerstattung bekommen werden.

Ein einmaliges Erlebnis in traumhafter Kulisse

Der Rundflug über den beide Gletscher und die Landung auf dem Fox-Gletscher waren wunderschön. Bodencrew und Pilot waren einsame Spitze bei der Betreuung davor und während des Fluges. Beim Flug gab es dann noch zahlreiche interessante Informationen zu den Gletschern, ihrer Geschichte und den Besonderheiten. Alles zusammen ein super schönes Erlebnis.

Hi Anja, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so thrilled you enjoyed your experience with us. The Fox Neve is a fantastic place to land with the mighty Mt Tasman creating a fantastic backgroun for those insta-worthy photos. Our pilots choose the landing sites at take off time, factoring in weather, snow conditions and safety so we have several different one that we can choose from. Wishing you a safe onward journey. Kind Regards, The Helicopter Line, West Coast.

Unvergesslichen

Einfach eine tolle Erfahrung und ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Die Einblicke, die man aus dieser Perspektive von den Gletschern erhält, sind unglaublich schön; ein wunderbares Schauspiel aus verschiedenen Farben und Strukturen, das ich so nie erwartet hätte. Das Wetter hat auch mitgespielt. Wir hatten Sonnenschein und standen oben knöcheltief in frischem Schnee.
