Franz Josef Glacier Guides: trips rates

Franz Josef Glacier Guides, New Zealand - Franz Josef heli hike

An exciting scenic flight over all three icefalls of the Franz Josef Glacier is taken with The Helicopter Line. Landing high up on the glacier, you undertake a two hour guided trip amongst some of the most beautiful terrain available.

Your guide chooses the route as you go and with an eye for the most spectacular ice formations you’ll soon be making your way through a wonderland of towering pinnacles and brilliantly blue ice.

The panoramic views of the glacier and surrounding mountains are supreme. With plenty of opportunities for the perfect photograph and the chance to learn more about glaciers, this will almost certainly be the most memorable experience you will have while in New Zealand.
