The Helicopter Line Franz Josef Heli Hike offers an exhilarating and unique adventure in one of New Zealand's most stunning natural environments. Located in Franz Josef Glacier, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the South Island, this experience combines the thrill of helicopter flight with the awe-inspiring beauty of glacier hiking.
The adventure begins with a scenic helicopter ride over the rugged Southern Alps, where you'll witness panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, lush rainforests, and the vast Tasman Sea coastline. Upon landing on the glacier, your experienced guide will lead you on an exploration of the icy terrain, navigating through crevasses, ice caves, and impressive ice formations sculpted over centuries.
The Franz Josef Glacier itself is a marvel of nature, stretching over 12 kilometers from its origins high in the mountains down to the lush rainforest near sea level. The Heli Hike allows you to walk on the glacier's surface and appreciate its dynamic landscape firsthand. Throughout the journey, your guide will share insights into the glacier's formation, its current state, and the local flora and fauna that have adapted to this extreme environment.
