We purchased the heli hike in Franz Josef from Everything New Zealand - website is super easy to use and we recieved the confirmation email straight away which was detailed and efficient.

Product rating:

Okay so it was an incredible experience but to be honest we were ever so slightly underwhelmed by the heli hike - we did think we would be hiking for a little longer, in total we probably only actually did 500 odd steps up the glacier and we expected a proper hike.
The guides were amazing and so informative but a little TOO informative, there was an awful lot of talking and not a lot of 'doing'.

We were pleased we got the discount so paid $430 per person instead of $500 and to be honest I wouldn't say it's worth that price..

Again, amazing experience and a once in a lifetime thing to do but I was just a little gutted I was underwhelmed when I thought it'd be the opposite.

This activity is amazing and we enjoyed so much during heli-hike. It is one of our memorable experience in New Zealand. We able to have an eye on the spectacular ice formations. The guided walk amid the ice caves, pinnacles, etc are so professional and safe by the Helicopter Line. we are so lucky that the weather was good on the day of hiking. =)

Hey, I would like to do a helihike on the 13. of February and was wondering, which time you would recommend

0 comments - Post a Comment

Hi, I'll be 22 weeks pregnant when in Franz Josef, and I understand most companies don't take pregnant patrons. Do you allow pregnant patrons on your heli hike?

Comments

Heya, Unfortunately no pregnant ladies are allowed on the heli hike for safety reasons.

What the maximum height does the helicopter fly?

Hello, I would like to know how difficult the heli hike tour is. I am 60 of reasonable fitness , I have had a knee replacement 18 months ago and i can comfortably do most daily activities . Your thoughts or info please.

Comments

Heya, You will need a reasonable level of fitness and the main thing is that the ground is uneven gravel/mountainous terrain. There is no climbing as such but you do need to be steady on your feet.

what's the typical temps on the glacier in mid Janurary?

Comments

The air temperature in Franz Josef in mid January is usually between 15-20 degrees celcius. It will feel colder on the glacier due to the ice under your feet so we do recommend wearing layers. If you do want to book a heli hike we recommend doing this well in advance as this is the busiest time of year and its often booked up. You can book via the Book Now button and we will email your confirmation straight back.

Hello do you allow 9 year olds to do your heli hikes as I see the minimum age on your website is 10 years, but other helihike companies' minimum age is 9. We are a family of four, children aged 13 and 9. I am looking for a helihike for Mon 21 Dec. Thank you.

Comments

The minimum age for the Franz Josef Glacier Heli Hike with either Franz Josef Glacier Guides or the Helicopter Line is 10 years old.
