Glacier Country Helicopters är ett lokalt, familjeägt och drivet företag baserat i Franz Josef på Nya Zeelands västkust. Man och hustru laget Gus och Poppy startade företaget i januari 2014 och du hittar vanligtvis en av dem ute och flyger de flesta dagar. På vår Ultimate Discovery-flygning ser du de tre "stora" glaciärerna. Du flyger över Franz Josef, Fox & Tasmanglaciärerna och flyger in i södra Alperna för att se Mount Cook och njuta av den inkluderade 10-15 minuters snölandning för bilder. Total upplevelsetid ca 45 minuter. Om du vill boka en Comfort Seat eller begära en uppgradering av framsätet / Executive Helikopter, vänligen kontakta oss minst 24 timmar före ditt flyg. Vänligen tillåt en extra 45minuter utöver din flygtid för att möjliggöra incheckning, transport till helikopter, lastning, lossning och att återvända till vårt kontor.
Ultimate Discovery-flyget inkluderar fantastisk utsikt över Franz Josef, Fox och Tasman Glaciers.

Informative pilot who took great photos, helpful staff getting us safely onboard and exciting experience being on the glacier
10/10 the best experience ever!!
Brilliant, professional and well organised. Flew over the Fox, Tasman and Franz Josef glaciers with excellent view of Mt Cook and surrounding mountains. Landed up in the mountains on the snow with superb views. Very knowledgeable pilot pointing out all the various peaks and glaciers and geological features. Super trip, highly recommend. Just note you can't take bags or backpacks in the helicopters with you, just cameras/phones etc.
Well organised, highly professional and a brilliant trip. Flew over the Fox, Tasman and Franz Josef glaciers and landed up in the mountains on the snow overlooking Mt Cook. Highly recommend - pilot was incredibly knowledgeable pointing out all the various sights and geological features. If you do one trip in Franz Josef, make it this one! Do bear in mind you can't take backpacks or bags in the helicopters, just cameras/phones etc.
We looked forward to the experience for months. We waited to book until we arrived in the area as our travel plans were constantly changing. We gave ourselves a couple of days so that we had more options. Helicopter rides in mountains is subject to weather conditions and this proved to be the case. We flew on our first day as the weather was good and there were seats available when we wanted to go. It was perfect! Overwhelming, spectacular and very informative all at the same time! The pilot provides information about what we are seeing. This adds greatly to the experience. Great time and great pictures all round! The next day was overcast with low cloud. No flying until late afternoon. We were lucky!
This was the thrill of a lifetime! We absolutely loved the flight and our pilot, Mark, was knowledgeable, skilled, and personable. The cost was reasonable too. Would highly recommend!
Great personable pilot. Friendly front of house staff who were informative. Flight was amazing and everything and more that you could imagine. The glacier landings were surreal and the views in every direction were breathtaking.
Amazing views of Franz Joseph glacier and surrounding mountains in both sides of the divide! Note that the helicopters are 6 seaters (2 in the front and 4 across the back) a snug fit with limited views if you’re in the 2 middle seats.
Fantastic experience, reception staff were extremely helpful booking us in and keeping us informed of any delays. Our pilot Mike, was very knowledgeable and friendly.The bus staff were also welcoming, knowledgeable and happy to chat.
