The Experience

What your day looks like

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. If you are looking for our Earnslaw Burn glacier flights, head on over here to learn more. Glacier Landings are available all year round however they are weather dependent and the amount of blue ice you can see can vary throughout the warmer months, especially in the warmer months.
