Twin Glacier Overflight

About this activity

Approx 18 minute Twin Glacier Overflight!

Sometimes the weather conditions (cloud, wind or rain) in Glacier Country don't allow us to get higher into the mountains to the snow landing sites, but we can still safely fly over the Franz Josef & Fox Glaciers.

On these days, we often have less sun glare so get the beautiful blue colour in the glacial ice and some awesome photos!

Flight times can vary depending on wind speed & direction on the day. Please note there is not a snow landing on this flight.
