Experience two of our biggest glaciers before a snow landing in Southern Alps on our scenic helicopter flight!
Departing from Franz Josef Township this 35minute flight includes
Glacier Country Helicopters is a local family, owned and operated company. Husband and wife duo Poppy and Gus Gordon who are both commercial pilots started the company in 2014. You’ll find them at the hangar or flying one our helicopters most days.
Our friendly team are certified Qualmark Gold, have received the Traveller’s Choice Award several years and look forward to showing you the glaciers, rainforests and mountains that form our incredible back yard.
Came on a pretty cloudy day but the second you go above the clouds you can see everything. It was beautiful, the pilot gave information throughout the flight and we got to play in the snow for a bit.
Definitely a must-do in Franz Josef, especially when the weather is good. It’s a bit expansive, but the landscapes you get to see are absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it!
Well worth the money!
This was the best experience of our holiday. Our pilot Poppy was great.

Amazing
An amazing experience. The staff were all so friendly and professional. We had Poppy as our pilot. It is nice that it’s a family run business too! We got very lucky with the weather so can’t comment on Bookme.co.nz refunds process but bear in mind helicopter experiences can be cancelled after booking due to unsuitable weather for flying.
