Franz Josef Heli Hike

With this unique experience, a helicopter tour will take you where only the most trained mountaineers go. We start down at Franz Josef village, from where a stunning helicopter ride takes us up to the 12km long glacier peak. After a safety briefing and walk-through, we strap on our hiking boots and throw on some spikes as well. Then begins today’s 2 hour hike to see some of the most beautiful scenery found on mother earth. Another fabulous and truly unique experience that really shows New Zealand and its breathtaking scenery at its very best!
