Glacier Country Helicopters is a local, family owned and operated company based in Franz Josef, on the West Coast of New Zealand. Husband and wife team Gus and Poppy started the company in January 2014, and you'll generally find one of them out flying most days.
On our PRIVATE Mt Cook Supreme flight you'll fly over the Franz Josef, Fox, Tasman Glaciers and fly into the Southern Alps to see Mount Cook and enjoy two included 10-minute landings - the first a snow landing for photos and the second on the Shackleton Glacier. Total experience time approx. 60 minutes.
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.
Please note that whilst this is a private flight, you may share the check in and van travel with other passengers on other flights.
Total weight of passenger load must be within the helicopter's weight and balance requirements.
Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap

Suitable for all physical fitness levels
Please let us know if you have limited mobility e.g. injury, arthritis or recent surgery? There are two high ladder style steps into the helicopter. This information could effect what helicopter we fly you in.
Our helicopter seats are 40cm wide. If you would like extra space or are wider than this we highly recommend booking a comfort seat which guarantees an empty seat next to you.

A five star experience from the initial booking to the goodbyes! Bri kept the communication flowing with updates on flying conditions and adjusting our fly time accordingly! Our pilot, Poppy, took us on an informative and incredible journey through the Southern Alps, giving us up close and personal views of Mt Cook and Mt Tasmin! Excellent pilot!! Definitely a must do!!!!
