I was very impressed with this company. They were not sure if the skies were clear enough for our enjoyment as the route up he Franz Joseph clouded in around 0830. However, the company refused payment and ran us out to the aircraft to try the Fox Glacier route saying that if this route was not open there would be... More

We booked the Grand Traverse flight which took in both glaciers and is about 50 minutes long. We were lucky that on our last day the weather cleared and we were able to go up. The views up there are breathtaking. If you suffer travel sickness make sure you are well medicated as it can get quite bumpy over the... More

We took this tour because they were offering a special on the 20 minute tour And boy was it worth the money! The pilot was very informative and we got some great photos of the glaciers, the coast and the mountains. The only thing that would have made it better was to get to land on the glacier.

Flights are weather-dependent: if everything is covered by clouds, you don't fly. We were fortunate to have a break in the weather for our flight and got to see lots of glaciers, Mt. Cook and other mountains in the two national parks that meet in this area, the coast, rivers, the whole bit. It was spectacular. The pilot was knowledgeable... More

The flight leaves from Franz Joseph and takes 50 minutes. In a 6 seater plane the views are indescribable and one is left spellbound by the beauty of it all. The trip is expensive, more so than the helicopter flights that land on the glacier, but is much longer and gives a true representation of the beauty of the area.... More

We were lucky to do this on a bright day the views were magnificent. Great to land on the glacier so tranquill.

We took the Air safaris from Franz Joseph and it was fantastic being able to fly above the glaciers and mountains. I even was able to sit in the copilot seat for an extra special view. Easy flight, felt very safe and had great views. The longer flight was well worth it.

This tip is worth every penny. The flight is about an hour and it takes you over the mountains and glaciers, you see mt Cook in all it's splendour and the rivers that flow from the glaciers and lakes. The whole trip is awesome and gives you a perspective and view you cannot get from the ground.

Must pick a good day, which I did, fantastic views. Expensive but worth it.
