Flanked to the west by the Southern Alps and to the east by the Tasman Sea, the West Coast region is a rugged, stretch of native forested land, lakes, mountains, farmland, wild coastline and the location of Franz Josef Glacier.


A scenic tour through the Helicopter Line is a great way to view it from the air. You'll be captivated as you lift off and fly up and over the Franz Josef Glacier and experience the solitude of a landing in this natural alpine wonderland.
