With departures available from Franz Josef or Fox (separate schedules), you will be amazed by the wonderful blue ice of these two beauties as you soar across the snow covered pinnacles onto the snowfields of the Fox or Franz Josef glacier.

Great experience! Having never ridden in a helicopter before, my wife and I were a little apprehensive but excited to see the glaciers. The staff was incredibly professional and reassuring, setting us at ease. The flight itself was surprisingly smooth, and the views were spectacular. Landing in the snow, taking in the views in virtual isolation was a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended.

The tour itself was amazing, for that reason it gets 5 stars. Everyone I interacted with was great.....except for one incredibly rude women at the desk in the Fox Glacier location.......

Amazing getting so close to the mountains and glaciers. Our pilot, Mark, was terrific, excellent commentary and information. Landing on a glacier was definitely the highlight.
