Explore two spectacular glaciers from above and actually land on one of them on this Fox and Franz Josef Twin Glacier with Glacier Landing Helicopter Adventure! These glaciers, sandwiched between the Tasman Sea and the Southern Alps on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, are the most low-lying of their type in the world and are incredible sites to explore.
Begin your adventure at the base of one of the glaciers, where you board the helicopter. Fly above the extraordinary alpine region, viewing the glacial icefalls and the unusual and impressive formations. After viewing it from above, you have the opportunity to experience it first hand when you land on one of the glacier’s snowfields!
