This fantastic tour provides the unique opportunity to see two of New Zealand’s most famous glaciers in one incredible helicopter flight. 

The Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers are New Zealand’s most well known glaciers, perhaps due to their striking sapphire tinged ice and crisp, white appearance.  Because the West Coast experiences such heavy snowfall, the ice crystals fuse and form the clear ice that makes these two glaciers so pristine. 

Flying over these two glaciers is an exhilarating experience and you will delight at the breathtaking panoramic views as you soar over the pure white ice peaks and canyons below.  You will land at the head of either the Franz Josef or the Fox Glacier and enjoy the overwhelming view of the glacier as it winds down from the towering mountains behind you into the steep valley below.  This valley was created by the incredible movement of the ice and the extraordinary natural ice sculptures you will see are testimony to this powerful force.
