Glacier Country Helicopters is a local family, owned and operated company. Husband and wife duo Poppy and Gus Gordon who are both commercial pilots started the company in 2014. You’ll find them at the hangar or flying one our helicopters most days.
Our friendly team are certified Qualmark Gold, have received the Traveller’s Choice Award several years and look forward to showing you the glaciers, rainforests and mountains that form our incredible back yard.
**Please note this 25minute flight has the highest rate of cancellation as it only has one flight route & landing site, so there are no back up options if its route is affected unlike the longer flights which have multiple options. The snow on its landing site is seasonal and varies each year so may be an alpine landing (rocky mountain with no snow).

Awesome experience!
The weather for the day of our flight wasn't the best so the team accommodated us for an earlier flight. Landing wasn't safe due the weather conditions so we got to see both glaciers instead. Super friendly staff made for a fantastic experience, definitely a "must do"

很不错的体验
先是行程前一晚收到邮件，通知说当天下午1点可能有云雾影响飞行，可以安排上午的。于是改定了上午11点，没想到当天路上堵车，错过了11点的飞行，到达后帮我们免费升级了35分钟的航班。全程坐到了最前排的2个座位。超出预期！！！是位女飞行员Ponny，还帮我们拍了合影， 20NZD，买买买，值得纪念！
