Full Description

We’re heading West! Skipping over Skippers Canyon before touching down for – you guessed it – a glacier landing in Queenstown.
There’s a reason this is one of our most popular excursions. We get you up close and personal to the unreal, deep blue ice of a remote glacier. Pristine and expansive, landing on this shelf of ice is a once in a lifetime photo opportunity.

On the journey over there we fly above Skippers Canyon for views of the historic gold mining sites, and then sweep past Fiordland National Park where your glacier landing awaits.
