Review of Franz Josef’s heli hike: a scenic helicopter flight, 2.5-hour glacier walk, ice caves, safety tips, costs, and weather advice.

“Wow wow wow! One of the most incredible things I''ve ever done! Sarah our guide was brilliant and Ellen helped us switch to an earlier booking which I am so so grateful for, otherwise our experience would have been cancelled due to low cloud! I cannot recommend this enough, the helicopter flight was amazing and everything was so smooth. The hike over the glacier was nothing I'll ever experience again. If you can afford it, do it!! You won't regret it!”

Fly over Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, land on the snow, and enjoy Southern Alps views on this short, weather-dependent helicopter tour.

“From the moment we walked through the doors of The Helicopter Line we were made to feel welcome and at ease. Our pilot James was fabulous he was funny and informative also helpful getting us up off the snow when we fell The views of the glaciers were amazing but stepping out of the choppa onto the snow was something we will remember forever. It was an awesome experience We highly recommend if you are in Franz Josef taking this trip”
