based on 481 reviewsReturning to Queenstown from Milford Strait, passing the heliport, you can take a helicopter to the southern glacier. "Global warming is causing the southern glaciers of New Zealand to melt, and perhaps we won't be able to see them again in many years!" The guide's introduction was very tempting. However, the price is really not cheap, equivalent to RMB 3,000 per person. From the Chinese on the billboard, it can be seen that this project is quite popular among Chinese people.
The Southern Glacier Helicopter Flight Experience is located in the glacier region of the South Island of New Zealand. By helicopter, visitors can overlook the vast glacier landscape and observe the dynamic changes of the glacier and the surrounding natural environment. Professional pilots and Guide will share important information about glacier formation, geological characteristics and environmental protection during the journey. The helicopter flight also hovers over the glacier and briefly stops, giving visitors the opportunity to take rare photos and record this unique journey. In addition to the flight experience, visitors can also choose to participate in a glacier hike to further explore the internal structure and natural wonders of the glacier. The Southern Glacier Helicopter Flight Experience is suitable for tourists seeking adventure and natural exploration, providing them with an unforgettable opportunity to experience the power and beauty of nature.

Take a Southern Glacier Helicopter tour over Wakatipu, Fiordland and Mount Aspiring National Park. The towering mountains, snow and glaciers that come into view are truly breathtaking and spectacular.
The attached picture shows the different flight packages of the helicopter. Generally, they will stay on the glacier for 5 minutes, so you can experience it for yourself. The pilot will take a photo of you and sign it. You can buy it at your own expense if you like it.
The family took a helicopter ride, which was a great experience. In winter, you can see the snow on the top of the mountain. You can stay on the top of the mountain for about 10 minutes to take photos and play in the snow. However, the weather was too cold, so we took some photos and came back. It took about an hour to go back and forth. Adults cost 605 SGD, children cost more than 400 SGD, a total of more than 2,000 SGD, which feels quite worthwhile.
There is room for improvement in cost performance, and the experience of seeing beautiful scenery from different angles is worth it.
One of the four best places in the world to see helicopters
Today is a fine day. No rain, no wind, cloudless miles, the perfect weather for helicopter take-off. The whole southern Alps are under my feet, the last challenge of this trip is successful. Come back and quickly change into swimsuit and jump into the swimming pool, just to be able to withstand the equipment I packed thousands of miles away. In summer, you finally come. By the way, when we looked at the stars last night, a galaxy crossed our heads. Sirius, the Pleiades and the Southern Cross are all clearly visible. It's really incomparable beauty. Unfortunately, like firefly holes, photographs can't be captured, only to see the scene.
