West Coast Scenic Flights
The West Coast is a vast tract of mostly rain-forested and dramatically mountainous land. West Coast Scenic Flights offer a stunning bird’s eye view of some of New Zealand’s most dramatic scenery including its icy glaciers (including the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers), New Zealand’s lofty Southern Alps, incredible coastlines and its great rainforests. more
The West Coast’s scenic flights soar through the air offering stunning views and with some helicopter flights landing in remote alpine areas such as the tops of glaciers. The West Coast covers the greater part of the wildest side of New Zealand – today with the lowest population of any region and relatively only small tracks of land cleared of forest, the West Coast stands as New Zealand’s Wild West.
