Helicopter Flights
Weather Is Everything
Helicopter flights are about as high as the experience scale goes in NZ, and the price reflects that. Which is exactly why you don't book ahead too eagerly. Weather makes or breaks these, so watch the forecast, stay flexible, and commit when the window opens. Do it on the wrong day and you've spent big on cloud.

Where the Big Flights Are
The West Coast glaciers are my pick for dramatic factor. Franz Josef and Fox Glacier sit in tight, steep terrain where the mountains basically loom over you, and the surreal mix of rainforest and ice won't be around forever. Heli hikes are a solid option from both, getting you down onto the glacier itself. The RANKERS promo code gets you a saving on helicopter flights and heli hikes out of Franz. Mt Cook is a different kind of flight altogether, bigger open country and glacier views that go on and on. Worth knowing the RANKERS code works on scenic flights up there too.
Kaikoura is worth a mention for a different reason entirely. Helicopter flights here double as wildlife spotting, and you can even combine the two with a whale watching flight using the RANKERS promo for a bit off either. Wanaka also has some genuinely good heli options into the Southern Alps if you're passing through.
