Experience the true untouched beauty and awe inspiring scenery of New Zealand's West Coast. It's a wild place known for clear, sparkling rivers and lush rainforests; creeping glaciers and geological treasures. Legends and stories from the past cling to every feature of the landscape. The rugged West Coast is hemmed between the wild Tasman Sea rolling in to its western coastline and the vast Southern Alps to the east. It is remote and sparsely populated, boasting two of the world's most accessible glaciers, the Franz Josef and the Fox Glacier.

The Helicopter Line has been offering scenic helicopter flights from Fox Glacier village for over 30 years. Our spectacular flights allow people with limited time to 'get away from it all' and experience an area of New Zealand's wilderness renowned for its outstanding natural beauty. View the extraordinary colours of the ice flow, ice caves and pinnacles in this largely inaccessible alpine region.

The Helicopter Line flies from both Fox Glacier and Franz Josef villages. Our helicopter base is centrally located on the Main Street in Fox Glacier and complimentary pick up and drop off transfers are available if required.
