What you can expect

Get ready for a breathtaking aerial adventure as you lift off on a 45-minute helicopter flight. You’ll soar above the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, before crossing the Main Divide to marvel at the mighty Tasman Glacier, which is the largest in the country. From above, watch the icy rivers carve their way down the mountains through to the lush rainforest. With your experienced pilot guiding the way, every moment is a scenic chance to take unforgettable photos.

To top it off, you’ll also touch down for a 10-minute alpine snow landing, if the weather permits it. Step out onto the pristine snow, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and enjoy incredible views at a spot only accessible by helicopter. Whether you’re after once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities or simply the thrill of flying among mountains and endless glaciers, this adventure delivers it all. It’s an exhilarating experience that combines pure wonder with unbeatable views.
