What you can expect

Take to the skies on a 35 minute glacier helicopter flight from Wanaka with Aspiring Helicopters. This scenic experience offers views of the Southern Alps, glacial valleys and alpine ridgelines before landing high at a remote glacier or snow location. It's the perfect option for travellers looking to explore Wanaka's spectacular surroundings in a short amount of time.

Your flight time includes a 10 minute remote landing at either Tyndall or Isobel Glacier, where you'll step out onto the snow at around 7000ft. Surrounded by pristine white snow and dramatic peaks, there’s time to snap some photos or simply enjoy the rare experience of standing on a glacier.

With nearly 300 glaciers in the region, Wanaka offers a unique perspective on New Zealand’s glacial landscapes. This is one of the top-rated Wanaka scenic flights for anyone looking to gain an insight into the region's geography and glacial history, with live commentary from your pilot along the way.
