Fox Glacier Twin Glacier Snow Landing 35-Minute Helicopter Tour

Red and white helicopter lifting off Fox Glacier snow in a spray of powder under alpine peaks.

A shared 35-minute helicopter from Fox Glacier village covering Fox and Franz Josef ice, with a snow landing when conditions allow (about 6–8 minutes on the snow). From NZ$498 per person.

The twin-glacier ticket leaves Fox Glacier township on SH6 — not Franz Josef — and flies both Fox and Franz Josef icefalls and neve in about 35 minutes, shared for up to six. One snow landing when conditions allow typically lasts about 6–8 minutes on the snowfields; it is weather-dependent and not guaranteed. You return to Fox. This is the clearest match when Franz Josef Glacier from the air belongs beside Fox Glacier on the same flight. Meet at the Fox heliport 30 minutes before departure; no hotel pickup. Warm layers and covered shoes matter if the landing goes ahead. Total passenger weight must stay within about 487 kg; there is no per-person maximum. No minimum age with a paying adult. Year-round when weather allows; Christmas Day mornings only. Live times and prices show when you book. Stay on the 25-minute Fox-only Experience when Franz Josef is not needed. Choose the Mount Cook or Spectacular tickets when Aoraki / Mount Cook is the reason to step up.
