Glacier Helicopter Flight with Alpine Landing - 25 Minutes
Highlights & inclusions
What you can expect
Climb aboard for a 25-minute helicopter flight above New Zealand’s spectacular alpine world. Your adventure begins as the Franz Josef Glacier stretches out beneath you, a shining river of ice carving its path from the mountains into the rainforest. As you climb higher, the Southern Alps and Mt Ellie de Beaumont become visible, offering a view that only a few get to experience. With your pilot pointing out landmarks along the way, this short but action-packed flight is all about soaking up jaw-dropping scenery in every direction.
Midway through the adventure, you’ll touch down at a remote alpine location for a 10-minute snow landing, if the weather permits it. Step out into the snow and feel the crisp mountain air, as you capture photos that will make your friends back home jealous. With a scenic flight, snow landing, and expert guidance all included, this adventure packs the very best of the Southern Alps into one unforgettable experience.
