  • 5Visiting the West Coast? Do yourself a favour and book a flight.

    Sensational experience and would do it again! Thanks so much to our pilot Clark. We had been trying to book with Glacier Helicopters but the phone constantly rang out. A call to the Mt Cook branch verified that Helicopter Line is the same operator. We kept trying and in the end got through to Helicopter Line and it was all sorted. The flight over the glaciers was superb (Mt Cook was too windy) and the snow landing just topped it off. Sad to see the glaciers are retreating and may not be there sometime in the future. See them while you can.

  • 5Great experience and great company!!

    We did the 35 minute flight seeing with a stop on the Glacier and it was really thrilling, even though I've done a lot of glacier activities in the past. It never gets old. The Helicopter Line staff were very professional, organized, and friendly. Super efficient and they got us out on the glacier despite a fairly tight time window. Our pilot was really kind and clearly very experienced. Even on an overcast day this was a wondrous experience. Highly recommend!

About Franz Josef & Fox Glacier

Franz Josef and Fox are two glaciers on New Zealand's West Coast that flow from the Southern Alps almost into temperate rainforest.

The Franz Josef and Fox glaciers descend from the Southern Alps through steep valleys into lowland rainforest on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, ending only a few hundred metres above sea level. The two small townships, about twenty-five kilometres apart, sit in Westland Tai Poutini National Park, part of a UNESCO World Heritage area. Julius von Haast named Franz Josef in 1865 after the Austrian emperor.
