We love that you get to see Franz Josef AND Fox Glacier from the sky on this trip. It&#39;s often hard to choose between the two, but you get a different vantage point of both on this trip!

Explore the ice falls at both Fox and Franz Josef glaciers in a whole new way on this epic scenic flight.&nbsp; 
 
 
Enjoy a 30-minute experience with up to 10 minutes&nbsp;in the air, soaring over both the Franz Josef and Fox glaciers. You&#39;ll travel&nbsp;over the townships before&nbsp;following the ice flow high up into the upper reaches. After enjoying some time&nbsp;in the air, you&#39;ll experience a&nbsp;snow landing that takes you face-to-face with the glacier itself!

 
 
Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers are two of New Zealand largest glaciers and flying above them you&rsquo;ll catch some amazing views. Flying is a great way to&nbsp;appreciate the incredible natural phenomenon and take in the towering ice formations and vast glaciers

 
 
Franz Josef Glacier provides some of the most stunning &lsquo;ice architecture&rsquo; of any Glacier in the world and you&#39;ll have the chance to snap some stunning photos of this beauty as you fly.&nbsp;It&#39;s now only accessible via helicopter, following a&nbsp;collapse of the terminal face in 2012, so this tour is perfect!

 
 
Fox Glacier is one of the few&nbsp;in the world which exist&nbsp;in&nbsp;close proximity to both an ocean and a rainforest. The unique setting of Fox Glacier and speed of the ice-flow, which is up to 3 metres per day in places, make for some of the most dynamic ice formations of any glacier.

 
 
Admire views of the Southern Alps and striking Mount Cook, before the highlight of your day, a&nbsp;snow landing! Land&nbsp;at the head of one of the glaciers and survey the path the glacier has carved below you. Jump out onto the ice and take it all in, making sure to snap plenty of photos.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Meeting Point

Departs and returns from either:

Franz Josef: Franz Josef township Helicopter Base, Main Road (State Highway 6), Franz Josef Glacier&nbsp;

Fox Glacier: Fox Glacier township Helicopter Base, Main Road, SH6, Fox Glacier
