Soar across pinnacles and crevasses and witness the deep blue ice of glacier country. The ultimate trip for any glacier lover.

When the weather is right you may have the opportunity to cross over the ridge separating the two glaciers – an absolutely jaw-dropping moment in a helicopter. Take advantage of the terrific photo opportunities of Aoraki/Mt Cook (New Zealand’s highest mountain) and Mt Tasman while landed on the snow. This flight departs from our Fox Glacier flight centre OR Franz Josef flight centre (take care to choose which location in your booking due to operating on separate schedules)

Allow 30 minutes.

Essential gear:
- Sunglasses
- Covered-in shoes (sneakers or trainers are fine) or hiking boots
- Wear comfortable outdoor clothing suitable for wearing on the snow
- Occasionally the temperature can be 5-10 degrees cooler on the snow than it is in the village

- Allow plenty of room on your memory card and/or phone for photos

Check with our ground crew if you are unsure of what to wear

Please note: Selfie sticks, especially extendable ones are a safety hazard and must not be taken

Please note that we do not allow passengers to take iPads on the flights as they can impede the view of the pilot and other passengers.

You are very welcome to bring along another means of taking your photos (phone, camera or Go-Pro are all great)
