Fox Glacier and Mount Cook 35-Minute Helicopter Tour

Red and white helicopter over a rumpled snow glacier and jagged peaks from Fox Glacier.

A shared 35-minute helicopter from Fox Glacier village over Fox ice and toward Aoraki / Mount Cook, with a snow landing when conditions allow. From NZ$498 per person.

About 35 minutes from the Fox Glacier SH6 heliport, this shared flight works Fox Glacier with a snow landing when conditions allow (about 6–8 minutes on the snowfields), then flies by Aoraki / Mount Cook and Mount Cook National Park views before returning to Fox. The snow landing is weather-dependent and not guaranteed. Up to six passengers. Meet at Fox township — there is no Franz Josef departure on this hub. Arrive 30 minutes early for check-in and weighing; park across the road. No hotel pickup. No per-person weight maximum; keep total passenger weight within about 487 kg. No minimum age; children and infants fly with a paying adult. Year-round when weather allows; Christmas Day about 9:00–12:00 only. Live times and prices show when you book. Choose this when Fox plus a Mount Cook fly-by is the goal at the mid price. Take the Twin Experience when Franz Josef from the air matters more. Take the 40-minute Spectacular when you want Fox, Franz Josef, and a fuller Mount Cook circle on one ticket.
