Soar over the breathtaking expanse of Fox Glacier, the longest of the West Coast glaciers at 13km and fed by four alpine glaciers. This unforgettable 30-minute experience takes you along the full length of the glacier, ascending beside the towering western face of Aoraki / Mount Cook — New Zealand’s highest peak. Along the way, enjoy sweeping views of the Southern Alps before making a dramatic snow landing high on the glacier, where you'll step out into a world of ice and alpine beauty.
Perfect for all ages, this scenic flight offers a rare chance to witness the raw power and beauty of Aotearoa’s glacial landscape from above. Surrounded by ancient ice formations and mountain peaks, you’ll capture memories (and photos) that will last a lifetime. From takeoff to touchdown, it's an epic adventure into the heart of New Zealand’s Southern Alps.
