We Flew Over New Zealand’s Most Famous Glaciers (Franz Josef, Fox & Mt Cook)

Was It Worth It? RTW S6 EP38 We took a helicopter flight over some of New Zealand’s most famous landscapes… but the real question is, was it actually worth it? Flying over Franz Josef Glacier, Fox Glacier, and Aoraki / Mount Cook is often described as a once in a lifetime experience, and one of the top things to do in New Zealand’s South Island. From above, you see the scale properly. Icefalls, deep blue crevasses, untouched snowfields, and peaks that feel completely out of reach from the ground. But these helicopter tours come at a serious price, so we wanted to show exactly what you get. No hype, no brochure version… just the full experience from takeoff to landing on the glacier itself. If you’re planning a trip to New Zealand and looking at helicopter tours over Franz Josef, Fox Glacier or Mount Cook, this is what it really looks like. Whether you’re deciding if it’s worth the money, comparing glacier flights, or building your South Island itinerary, this will give you a clear idea before you book. For us, it’s a very different way to experience the country. Swapping the bike for a helicopter, even just for a day, changes how you see everything.
