Depart Fox Glacier Village in a helicopter. Fly over the legendary Fox Glacier and snowfields so close that you feel you can nearly touch the crevasses and ice forms while you watch them race by below you. Land in the snow above the icefalls of the glacier and experience the magnitude of the scenery surrounding you. Then let the impressive presence of Aoraki/Mount Cook amaze you as you explore it's majestic west face, before descending down into the valleys below. With its ability to hover, land and provide access to some of New Zealand's most remote areas, a helicopter is the ideal choice for sightseeing that will take you up close to towering peaks, crevasse filled glaciers and sparkling waterways. Learn about the stunning landscape as your professional pilot delivers an informative commentary en route. The Helicopters are predominately European AS355 Twin Engine Squirrels (seats 06 passengers plus pilot). These are ideal for scenic flights, with an open plan cabin making for excellent views for all passengers. The Helicopter Line has the highest levels of Civil Aviation Authority certification for scenic helicopter operations, this involves regular monitoring and audit of all aspects of the operations. |
