Glacier Country Helicopters

Glacier Country Helicopters is owned and operated by husband-and-wife duo Gus and Poppy Gordon. Both are experienced pilots with more than forty years of combined flight experience, and for over ten years, they have been sharing their passion for the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand's South Island. 100% local, family-owned and operated with three generations of aviation heritage, we specialize in providing unforgettable scenic flights over Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, including thrilling snow landings and custom charter experiences. With a gold-rated safety record, award-winning customer service, and a Business Excellence Award in 2024, our small team strives to exceed expectations so you can return home with a truly remarkable story to tell. We invite you to experience the true essence of the West Coast as you fly high above majestic mountains and rugged glaciers, returning through untamed rainforests and dramatic coastal areas that make up this extraordinary region.
