Itinerary
We're heading west, soaring over the rugged Skippers Canyon before touching down for a spectacular glacier landing near Queenstown. This is one of our most popular excursions, offering a rare chance to get up close to the stunning deep blue ice of a remote glacier. Landing on this pristine, expansive ice shelf creates an unforgettable photo opportunity and alpine adventure.

Along the way, you'll enjoy sweeping views of historic gold mining sites in Skippers Canyon, where your glacier landing awaits. The combination of dramatic landscapes and icy terrain makes for an incredible journey from start to finish.

The glacier landing feels like a true snow adventure — soft snow underfoot and crisp alpine air all around. It's a unique experience that blends scenic flying with the thrill of stepping onto a snow-covered glacier.

Please note: Glacier landings are available year-round but are weather dependent. The visibility of blue ice can vary, especially in warmer months. For questions or to check availability, please contact our Reservations team.
