A helicopter flight offers a birds-eye view of Franz Josef Glacier and several of the helicopter operators are licensed to land on the glacier.
Scenic helicopter flights range from a quick buzz over Franz Josef Glacier to flights over both Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers and flights that include a glacier landing.
Helicopter flights are operated by several companies including Fox and Franz Heliservices, Glacier Country Helicopters, Glacier Helicopters and the Helicopter Line.
If you are thinking about a scenic helicopter flight you should consider the heli hiking tours run by Franz Josef Glacier Guides as these also include the helicopter flight to and from the glacier.
The following video and bookings are for scenic helicopter flights operated by Glacier Helicopters.
