Soar above Franz Josef Glacier

Your adventure begins as you hop into a helicopter at the Franz Josef heli base. As you lift off, you see lush green rainforests and towering snow-covered peaks. Soon, you’ll spot the breathtaking Franz Josef Glacier, with its frozen icefalls. Your pilot will guide the helicopter for a smooth snow landing, where you’ll step onto untouched white snow, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and enjoy nature at its best.

Double the adventure with Fox Glacier
