Tūtoko Glacier

Flight time ex Queenstown, per way: 35 mins
What sets Tutoko Glacier apart from other glacier locations is its rare combination of ice and ocean — sitting beneath Mount Tutoko, Fiordland's highest peak, with sweeping views out to the sea below. This dramatic contrast of glacial ice and coastline makes it one of the most striking and adventurous heli wedding backdrops in the region. Pairs beautifully with Lake Erskine, Footstool Peak (Milford), and the West Coast (Madagascar Beach) for a full Fiordland experience.
