Experience was super but at time of writing I have not received any credit for being moved to a cheaper tour the next day .So tour was awesome but admin from headout not so good as no credit received for much cheaper tour on the following day.

I wish I could give more than five Stars. Our helicopter departed from Franz Josef early in the morning before the clouds rolled in. It was a perfectly clear sky. We flew around Mt. Cook, Franz Josef Glacier, Fox Glacier and did a snow landing. The ride was smooth and the views were spectacular. I strongly encourage everyone to take the Grand Tour.Headout Guest

Wow this was spectacular, the views, the landing, our pilot was helpful and gave a great commentary. This will be a highlight of this holiday. The check in and ground crew were also very helpful and considerate of my mobility issues. Couldn’t have been kinder.

Fly over New Zealand's alpine terrains
Your adventure begins as you board the helicopter from the heli base at Franz Josef. The world shrinks beneath you as you soar above the lush rainforests, their emerald canopy giving you way to snow-capped peaks. Soon you'll be greeted by the view of Franz Josef glacier, its majestic icefalls cascading down like frozen waterfalls. Your pilot will expertly maneuver the helicopter for a breathtaking snow landing. Stepping onto the pristine expanse, you're enveloped by the crisp mountain air and the silence broken only by the crunch of fresh snow underfoot.
Fox Glacier tour
Upgrade your ticket for a journey over not one, but two of New Zealand's fastest-moving glaciers. Be mesmerized by the beauty of the Fox Glacier, marveling at its intricate ice formations and the power it wields as it carves its way through the landscape. As you land on the Fox Glacier near Victoria Falls, capture the breathtaking panorama in photographs that will leave your friends speechless.
The mighty Mt.Cook and Mt.Tasman
For the truly adventurous soul, this upgrade is all you need! The incredible aerial views of Mount Cook, New Zealand's tallest peak, as well as the spectacular views of turquoise blue icebergs with water reflections on the Tasman Glacier Lake, will surely take your breath away.
