What To Expect
Make your way to Fox Glacier, where you'll present this voucher for a 30-minute helicopter tour. Board the helicopter, strap in, then lift off above Fox Glacier, which stretches for 8.1 miles (13 km) through Westland Tai Poutini National Park. You'll see ice falls and rock falls from above, and get aerial views of the glacier's path down the valley. Keep flying towards Franz Josef Glacier - the glacier was named after the then-Emperor of Austria when a German explorer spotted it in 1865 - and touch down on a snowfield to throw some glacier snowballs and take the selfies of a lifetime. Take to the air again for the return flight to Fox Glacier, where this tour concludes at the original departure point.
