Glacier Country Helicopters is a local, family owned and operated company based in Franz Josef, on the West Coast of New Zealand. Husband and wife team Gus and Poppy started the company in January 2014 and you'll generally find one of them out flying most days.
On our Pilots Choice flight you'll see two of the three "big" glaciers. You'll fly over the Franz Josef Glacier then over either the Fox Glacier or Tasman Glacier and fly into the Southern Alps to enjoy the included 10 minute snow landing for photos. Total experience time approx. 35 minutes.
If you wish to book a Comfort Seat or request a Front Seat / Executive Helicopter Upgrade, please contact us at least 24hours in advance of your flight.
Please allow an extra 45minutes on top of your flight time to allow for checking in, transport to helicopter, loading, unloading and to return to our office.

1.00If you get stuck in the back of the helicopter you see the peoples heads in front of you and lines on the side of the window. They pay the same as you. Not worth the $1200. If you can physically do a heli hike would recommend that. We ice hiked glacier in Alaska and after that this paled in comparison. Polly was great, friendly, nice, educated us about mountain and Lord of rings. Do not recommend.

5.00Booked at the last minute on leaving Franz Josef and we were able to get a flight within 2 hours. The 35 minute flight was awesome and the landing on the glacier was truly superb. The pilot(Mike) and all the other staff involved made us feel so welcome. An experience we will never forget.
