I'll never forget this tour. Thanks for an amazing adventure.
Departing the Fox township, this flight takes you past the wonders of Fox Glacier and beyond!
Settle in for the scenic flight of a lifetime! Soar from Fox Glacier to Mount Cook and the Glacier Valley and enjoy stunning views of snowy peaks and icy caps.
You'll fly the entire length of the Fox Glacier where you'll enjoy incredible views of this 13-kilometre-long beauty. Then, soar at eye level against the west face of Aoraki/Mount Cook. There's time for a glacier snow landing too!
Hopping back in the aircraft, it's time to descend the Glacier Valley. Leave the majestic mountains behind as you zoom back to the Fox Glacier base.
