Highlights
True South Flights is the only fixed wing operator to offer the Franz Josef Heli Hike from Queenstown as a day trip.
The Franz Josef Glacier is the fastest moving commercially guided glacier in the world, meaning the ice formations are constantly changing. The flight path you take to Franz Josef crosses over the Southern Alps, home to some of the most spectacular scenery, only visible by flight.
