Latest Questions about Helicopter Flights - Franz Helicopter Line (Franz Josef)

Hi
Where does the helicopter land on the Mountain Spectacular trip?
Thanks

Comments

Heya, The heli could land at one of five landing sites, depending on weather conditions. Most commonly they land on either the Fox Neve or the Geike (a snow field at the top of Franz Josef glacier).

Do you Fly from Franz Josep to Te Anau on Jan.1,2016/and ,if so, what cost for 2 adults?

Comments

The short answer is yes. However, it is weather dependent and costly. You'll need to charter a helicopter from Franz to Te Anau and pay for both ways as the heli needs to get back to Franz Josef. It's 2.7 hours flying time there and back so the price would be in the vicinity of $10,000. That would of course give you access to the entire heli which holds up to 6 passengers (max combined weight is 500kg). It's also important to note that given the weather on the west coast and Fiordland is variable at best, there would be no guarantees of flying until the morning of the flight. That being said, it is doable and the flight would be absolutely spectacular so if you are still interested then please let me know and I can go ahead and get an exact quote for you.

Hello, How far in advance should we book a flight (2 adults, 3 children)?

Comments

Hi Valentine. The scenic helicopter flights at Franz Josef are very weather dependent and can get cancelled quite regularly. As such they are often booked up several weeks in advance. I do recommend booking for your first day in Franz so that if the weather is no good for flying you can reschedule to another day or receive a full refund from us. Can I ask what dates were you considering and I can check the availability for you?
