Witness New Zealand's stunning Franz Josef Glacier from birds-eye view during a 25 minute scenic flight. Marvel at the shimmering snow-clad mountains and icy rivers plunging through the rainforests as you soar above the peaks. If weather permits, you'll experience a magical 10 minute snow landing.
Soar above a snowy wonderland during this 25 minute scenic flight. You'll be lifted up above the Franz Josef Glacier, flying amid shimmering toothy mountains and majestic rivers of ice flowing through the rainforests. Admire the icy show below you before experiencing a magical 10 minute snow landing (if the weather permits). There will be ample time to take photos and soak in this frosty paradise which is a largely inaccessible alpine region. Continue gliding through the sky, witnessing New Zealand's stunning Southern Alps and Mt Ellie de Beaumont.
This flight is 25 minutes in duration. Please allow additional time for check in, transport to and from the heli-pad and loading.
* The snow landing is season and weather dependant.
* Comfort Seats (passengers 120KG and over when weighed at check-in will be required to purchase a Comfort Seat — these are half the RRP of your flight).
* Front Seat Request (Requests must be made 24hrs in advance & are only confirmed at check in)

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
