Excellent Quality
Overview
Fly from Franz Josef to see two of the biggest glaciers in New Zealand before a snow landing with our family owned and operated helicopter company. We are locally owned by husband-and-wife team Gus and Poppy started our West Coast company in 2014. They are both commercial pilots and you'll generally find one of them out flying most days. On our Pilots Choice flight, you'll see two of the three "big" glaciers. You'll fly over the Franz Josef Glacier then over either the Fox Glacier or Tasman Glacier and fly into the Southern Alps to enjoy the included 10-minute snow landing for photos. Total experience time approx. 35 minutes. If you wish to book a Comfort Seat or request a Front Seat Upgrade, please contact us at least 24hours in advance of your flight. Please allow an extra 45minutes on top of your flight time to allow for checking in, transport to helicopter, loading, unloading and to return to our office.
