What you can expect

The endless beauty and amazing views start from take-off at Franz Josef Heliport, as you cross the main divide from the West Coast. Enjoy breath-taking scenic landscapes of New Zealand’s main attractions including Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, La Peruse & Belfour Glaciers, flourishing greens of native rainforest, and snow-capped peaks of Aoraki Mount Cook and Mount Tasman, as you make your way towards the private landing on the Tasman Glacier.

Once landed on the glacier nestled in the peaks of Mount Cook, your pilot will set up a private picnic on the snow for you to enjoy local cuisine while taking in the astonishing views and surroundings with plenty of time for amazing photos and memory-making.

Once you’ve had your fill of alpine air and food, your private helicopter will fly back past the highest peak in New Zealand and return across the divide and native rainforest to Franz Josef Heliport. A kiwi experience you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
