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.

Very well organized and great experience. Although the weather was not good enough to see Franz Josef glacier, it was already impressive to fly over Fox glacier. Very nice staff and pilot.
A fabulous experience

This was an outstanding outing. It was very well organised and Edine was our fabulous pilot. She pointed out all the important landmarks to us and gave us a surprise snow landing.

Totally fantastic experience, highly recommended. Glacier Country Helicopters were very safety conscious and professional. You will not be disappointed as you have such fantastic view of the mountains and glaciers, you would never normally see. Experience of a lifetime.

Incredible! Well worth it. The staff was very helpful in working with our travel schedule to account for the unpredictable weather. We ended up having to reschedule our midday ride for the next morning and got beautiful weather.
Great flight

The only way to see the glaciers close up is by doing this tour. You see so much more from the air and Mike our pilot was very informative. I would certainly recommend to anyone holidaying in the area.
