See Shackleton Glacier from the air — a remote Southern Alps ice named for the Antarctic expedition, with a fifteen-minute snow landing on the fifty-minute circuit from Franz Josef, and a second landing on the sixty-minute Mount Cook Supreme flight. You take off at 10 Main Road. These listings do not leave from Fox.
The Franz Josef Glacier Shackleton ticket is about fifty minutes. From NZD 795 per person as labelled. One seat. The circuit lists Franz Josef, Tasman, and Shackleton glaciers, Mount Cook and Mount Tasman, and a complimentary whiskey sample with glacial ice for those who want it. Live checkout can differ. Cancel currently 24 hours before for a full refund as shown when you book.
You do not camp on the ice. You land, you look, you sample if you choose, you fly home. The sixty-minute ticket uses Shackleton as the second of two ten-minute landings after a photo stop on snow. Hotel pickup is not included. A comfort seat is required from 120 kg / 265 lbs.
The extra of this ticket is Shackleton time in fifty minutes. Stay on fifty if that landing from above is the point. Take sixty if you want four glaciers and two landings. Stay on forty-five for the three big glaciers without this pad.
Tasman Glacier is on this circuit. Aoraki / Mount Cook and Mount Tasman sit in the same Alps. Franz Josef Glacier is the West Coast start. Another snow landing on this hub is the twenty-five-minute ticket; this pad is Shackleton.
Check in thirty minutes before at 10 Main Road. Allow about forty-five extra minutes around the flight. Franz Josef is the only base on these listings. Sunglasses, a jacket, a camera, shoes you do not mind getting wet. Infants sit on a lap. Weather can stop a landing; you are refunded or shortened as shown when you book.
Book the fifty-minute helicopter and see Shackleton Glacier from the air, then stand on the snow.
