If you are short of time and are not fit enough to do the HeliHike, the 20 min helicopter flight with snow landing is a great experience to bring you to the top and middle of the glacier to experience the magnificence of nature.

This has to be the highlight of the past 15 months I’ve spent in this country. I couldn’t stop smiling! The staff are very professional and put your comfort above everything else. If they need to get another helicopter, they’ll do it, no question. It was my first time in a helicopter and first time over the twin glaciers. I had the best time! Thanks again!

The heli hike was one of the most memorable things we have done in NZ. All the staff were super friendly and our guide Jon was really nice and informative. There was hardly any waiting around so you do get a lot of time on the ice. The price is very expensive but for an experience that you will probably only do once, it is fairly reasonable.

Weather is perfect. If you went on summer, do not wear too much, a T shirt is fine. They will provide you jacket and pants. It’s gonna be so hot when you start walking!!

Fox Glacier Landing

An unreal experience that allowed us to see the glacier from a different perspective! Our second time doing this and it was just as incredible as the first time round! We recommend this to all our friends that travel to New Zealand. As the pilots say, if you can fly - fly, because you could travel to the West Coast 100 times and never get the chance due to weather. Make the most of the opportunity if it’s there!

We had such a great time. It was well organized and we felt completely safe the entire time. The helicopter flights were quick, but very cool. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We got to explore ice caves and crevasses which were super cool. The company will provide you with proper boots, mitts, socks (all clean), rain jacket and cramp ons. These are included in your tour cost.

We booked at 3PM but the staff allowed us to join 1PM flight then they could fulfill the flight capacity and we did not have risk from 3PM flight cancellation on unmet minimum flight capacity. While I was there, they allowed only to fly from Fox. There was no flight from Franz Josep anymore so I needed to change my plan to Fox earlier to catch the flight even I booked Franz Josep. Stunning view during the flight for both Glaciers in departure and returning. The snow landing on Mt Cook was magnificent. we landed on fresh snow with clear blue sky. 10 minutes there was worth.

An extraordinary experience! Many thanks Nathan and Kirsty for taking such amazing care of our family.

We loved your commentary throughout the trip, with a perfect mix of facts and interesting information to appeal and maintain the interest of the adolescent brain. We are also very grateful for the personalized nature of the trip! We will be sharing this amazing experience and your very impressive service with friends and family and shouting out to the world a truly extraordinary experience! Many thanks

So lucky they were flexible with starting time

Went down to the Fox Glacier office in the afternoon before our scheduled flight the next day, and was offered a flight right away. So up we went for a amazing flight up the Fox Glacier and right around Mt. Cook, because the cloud was down over Franz Josef. It was great the we could go a day early and modify the flight to suit conditions. We all really enjoyed the flight and commentary. Poured the next day with no flights

Once in a lifetime experience

From the moment we walked into our safety briefing and were given appropriate clothing our concerns faded and excitement built. Sherpa was an amazing guide with plenty of stories, wicked sense of humour, experience and we felt safe in his hands. We'd never been in a helicopter, let alone on a Glacier. We were truly humbled by nature and the experience. The girls back in the office/shop were so caring for the next group to fly up. With the bad weather moving in and another company cancelling the groups helihike the night before all these wonderful women wanted was for them to have some time on the ice and have that experience. Bravo 👏 👏 what an amazing team you have

We had a great day exploring the glaciers. The staff were really helpful. We weren't sure whether to do the 2 heli flights with one 10 min landing or the heli hike. We're so glad we chose the heli hike as it was definitely worth it!

Staff very friendly, short ride from office to the heli pad, beautiful flight up to the glacier and more time on the glacier than anticipated. No other heli near us so it felt like un-touched and pristine landscape. Absolutely one of the best experiences of a life time! A must do for any travelers or Kiwis!
