Helicopter tours are the only way to really enjoy the natural wonders of the landscape of the area around Fox Glacier on the South Island of New Zealand. Scenic flights by Glacier Helicopter take you to the bases located on Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier where you can explore the ice fields, crevasses, ice falls and massive ice creations.
Glacier Helicopter Tours can vary from twenty minutes to forty minutes depending on which flight you choose or you can book a longer flight which can last up to a couple of hours.
