Why choose GLACIER COUNTRY SCENIC FLIGHTS?
Glacier Country is a spectacular region and all its beauty and grandeur can only be experienced fully on an alpine scenic glacier flight.
When compared with other flight operators, our flights offer:
MORE MOUNTAINS
From Franz Josef, Fox or Whataroa Valley West Coast New Zealand, gateway to the outstanding alpine scenery of the New Zealand Southern Alps, we will introduce you to Aoraki Mount Cook (New Zealand’s highest mountain), and the high peaks of Mount Cook National Park where Sir Edmund Hillary trained for his ascent of Mount Everest and for his adventures in the Antarctic.
MORE GLACIERS
The Westland & Mt Cook national parks are home to over 800 Glaciers. All our flights adventure into both national parks. We will also visit the impressive 29km long Tasman Glacier, the snowfields and ice falls of the Franz Josef Glacier, Fox Glacier and many other glaciers in the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
MORE SCENIC VARIETY
In addition to the magnificent alpine scenery of Franz Josef and Fox glaciers we can also fly up the giant Whataroa River Valley which is still mined for alluvial gold and you will see the primeval rainforests of New Zealand’s West Coast.
MORE RELIABILITY
Sometimes low cloud restricts scenic flights from Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier townships, but our base in Whataroa Valley is more often quite clear for alpine scenic flights. We operate 7 days a week, subject to weather and suitable flying conditions. You may call us free from anywhere within New Zealand to check weather and flying conditions and for more information.
