Franz Josef Heli Hike

Description

This world-renowned Glacier Heli Hike is not to be missed. With the combination of an exhilarating helicopter ride, jaw-dropping scenery and a two and half hour hike through the most spectacular glacier features, it's no wonder our guests often label their Glacier Heli Hike as the highlight of their visit to Aotearoa (New Zealand). Did you know? The Franz Josef Glacier is the fastest commercially guided glacier in the world? As a result, its features are constantly changing, with a good change of seeing the glacier calving around you. You might find yourself sliding through narrow crevasses, navigating between staggering ice towers, squeezing through ice caves or if you are lucky, all three! You can be sure that you're seeing the glacier in a unique state. Duration: allow 4 hours. What to bring: Warm clothes, sunglasses. Max weight: 115kgs.
