Fox Glacier Scenic FlightsPerhaps one of the most popular ways to view the area is from a plane or helicopter, as you loop lazily over the farmlands into the glacial wonderland. The 13 kilometre long Fox Glacier links with the nearby Franz Josef Glacier at the head, as the snowfields feed from the nearby alps. A sight to behold, and one you will never forget.
Flights are offered by both fixed wing and helicopter with many options which can incorporate a snow landing or a circuit around mighty Mt Cook and its eastern aspects. On a fine day this is a 'must-do'!
The Helicopter Line Fox Glacier
The Helicopter Line offers spectacular scenic helicopter flights from Fox Glacier village. The West Coast is home to spectacular mountain peaks and creeping glaciers. It’s the perfect environment for flying in, walking on. Take the opportunity to get close-up views on a scenic flight to explore and discover the dramatic expanse of the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers and snowfields. View the extraordinary colours of the ice flow, ice caves and pinnacles in this largely inaccessible alpine region. All flights feature a snow landing.
