Glacier Helicopters West Coast, pioneered glacier and snow landings in New Zealand in 1970. Since then we have enabled thousands of visitors to interact and enjoy some of the most spectacular wonders of the natural world.

Our helicopter 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.

Not only do we offer spectacular scenic helicopter flights but we also partner up with Fox Glacier Guiding for the Heli Hike on the Fox Glacier. Glacier Helicopters fly 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.

Offering a range of scenic helicopter flights from 20 minutes to 40 minutes means we have flights to suit many budgets. Charter flights are also available. Our flights encompass the Mount Cook National Park, and both Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier. All our flights include a landing – a very special snow landing on the glacier itself. Being a chosen company with consent to land on the glacier makes the flight a privileged experience.
