“A rare opportunity to experience a dynamic glacier up close.”
Glacier Helicopters is a trusted and professional helicopter company, providing a number of aviation services within the West Coast region of the South Island, New Zealand. All helicopter flights depart from and return to Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier townships. Their bases are conveniently located on the main street of both townships. A courtesy coach is available to pick up and drop off passengers in the Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier area.
Reviews
Totally worth visiting and taking a guided tour of the glacier. You'll spend all day up there, they provide all the gear you need, and you'll come down cold, wet and exhausted but it's one of the most unique experiences I've had. Be aware too that whatever you bring with you (ex. cameras) should be in a pretty well-sealed bag as it'll get wet otherwise. You squeeze through lots of tight spaces rubbing right up against the ice but definitely do bring a camera because loads of cool shots to be had.
