Pilots Choice - 35 minutes

Glacier Country is celebrated for its dramatic landscapes, pristine ice fields, and striking alpine scenery, offering an unforgettable glimpse into New Zealand’s wild West Coast. This scenic helicopter flight is designed for travelers who want to experience the region’s true beauty from above, flying over lush rainforests, vast mountain ranges, and two of the area’s most iconic glaciers. Depending on conditions, the route showcases either the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers or the Franz Josef and Tasman Glaciers, along with sweeping views of the Southern Alps, Mt Cook, and Mt Tasman.

A highlight of this 35-minute Pilots’ Choice flight is a memorable 10-minute snow landing in a remote alpine location. These exclusive landing sites are carefully selected by experienced pilots and are inaccessible by any other means, allowing you to step onto untouched terrain surrounded by towering peaks and serene wilderness. Walking on snow-covered landscapes and taking in the silence of Glacier Country creates a truly special experience, combining adventure, natural beauty, and a deep connection to this remarkable environment.
