About
Glacier Helicopters operates from Franz Josef village, which is situated at the foot of the Franz Josef Glacier in the heart to the Franz Josef township. We offer not only spectacular scenic helicopter flights, but also incredible glacier landings. The opportunity to view up close and touch the glacier formations - ice caves, seracs and pinnacles - makes for a truly memorable experience. Flights range from 20 - 40 minutes and can include Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, Aoraki/Mt Cook and the Southern Alps. Our experienced pilots share their intimate glacier and alpine knowledge during the journey. Complimentary local transfers from accommodation are available as required.
