Fox Glacier and Mount Cook Helicopter Flight
Fox Glacier, New Zealand
Depart Fox Glacier Village, fly over the legendary Fox Glacier and snowfields and watch the crevasses and ice forms race by below you. Land in the snow above the icefalls of the glacier and experience the magnitude of the scenery surrounding you. Then let the impressive presence of Aoraki (Mount Cook) amaze you as you explore it's majestic west face, before descending down into the valleys below.
With its ability to hover, land and provide access to some of New Zealand's most remote areas, a helicopter is the ideal choice for sightseeing that will take you up close to towering peaks, crevasse filled glaciers and sparkling waterways. Learn about the stunning landscape as your professional pilot delivers an informative commentary en route.
Aircraft: The fleet consists predominately of European AS355 Twin Engine Squirrels (seats 06 passengers plus pilot). They are ideal aircraft for scenic flights, with an open plan cabin making for excellent views for all passengers. The Helicopter Line has the highest levels of Civil Aviation Authority certification for scenic helicopter operations, this involves regular monitoring and audit of all aspects of the operations.
This was on my husbands bucket list and he just loved it.

For the scenery and the experience it would have been a five! The pilot expertly manoeuvres the helicopter to try and give all the passengers a good view whilst maintaining a commentary. My reason for knocking a star off and marking the trip 4 out if 5 is just that 30 minutes is not long enough to take it all in. It just felt a wee bit rushed if you were trying to take photos on the flight. _br/_ Yes, the trip is well worth taking. My advice.... film/video record the scenery whilst in flight. There's plenty of time on the glacier for photos.
