Unforgettable helicopter ride over the Fox Glaciers, Franz Jozef Glacier including landing on glacier. - We had initially booked the longer option (40 minutes including Mount Cook). Unfortunately, due to the weather, flying over Mount Cook was not possible due to the weather conditions, but the short 30-minute option was definitely worth it. Something to remember.

Twin Glacier Landing - The experience was unreal. The weather was ideal for viewing and landing on the glacier. It was our 3rd attempt ( first one in the morning timeslot) and we were so glad we got to do it. Staff were friendly and accomadating. Highly recommend and defintely choose mornings if possible.

Unique experience - Flying over the Fox & Franz Josef glaciers by helicopter and landing in the snow was just magical. Feeling the cold, the silence and the vastness of the ice beneath my feet... an experience I will never forget
