Welcome to Alpine Adventures - home of Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Heliservices, Tekapo Helicopters and Kaikoura Helicopters.
Alpine Adventures commenced helicopter tourist flights as Fox Glacier Helicopter Services in the early 1980’s. From these humble beginnings with only 1 helicopter, our dedication to customer satisfaction and aircraft safety has seen Alpine Adventures grow into a highly respected flight charter and tourism company boasting an impressive fleet of 11 modern turbine helicopters.
Due to the current size of our helicopter charter service we now have the ability to easily and quickly relocate aircraft between Fox Glacier, Franz Josef and Lake Tekapo as demand requires.
Alpine Adventures is proud to have a team of extremely experienced professional pilots and ground crew dedicated to aircraft safety and customer service. Currently employing 9 pilots and up to 17 ground crew, office staff and management, each of our pilot’s has been specifically chosen and trained by the company’s Managing Director, James Scott, who has over 30 years of experience operating helicopters.
Each ground crew member is also fully trained to a high standard of customer service, including an in-depth knowledge of all operational safety procedures.
We have Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand approval to trades as Alpine Adventures, Fox Glacier Heliservices, Franz Josef Heliservices, Tekapo Helicopters and Kaikoura Helicopters under the provisions of Civil Aviation Rule Part 119 to perform air operations, etc.
