Description
Soar over a dazzling icy show during this 35 minute scenic flight. You'll be lifted up above the Franz Josef Glacier and either the Fox or Tasman Glaciers, flying among shimmering toothy mountains and majestic rivers of ice flowing through the rainforests. Continue gliding through the sky, witnessing New Zealand's stunning Southern Alps, Mount Cook and Mount Tasman before experiencing a magical 10 minute snow landing (if the weather permits). There will be ample time to take photos and soak in this snowy paradise which is a largely inaccessible alpine region.
