Franz Josef Glacier

we wanted to do just the halfday, but since it was full, we did the full day, and boy am I glad. We got to squeeze through blue ice tunnels and crevices that I don’t think we could have reached on the half day.

Visited here on the Kiwi Experience bus – took the chance to do a full day glacier walk while I was here. Its great up on the glacier – and fun to play with ice axes :-).

I only had a short time in Franz Josef so, despite the expense, I took the helicopter ride up over the glacier landing on the snowfields above.

The views were stunning – it was money well spent. I’d love to have spent more time exploring the park.

Franz Joseph is better than Fox

New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places on the planet! Also check out Mirror Lake when you’re there and make sure you hike up on the glacier.

I lived in Franz Josef for a year – most beautiful place to be and absolutely fun filled – don’t take it at face value or you may miss the best bits :)

I did my first Sky Dive here and it was awesome!

Hiking/exploring the Franz Josef Glacier was one of the most thrilling and intense activities I have done.

that’s where you will be.

definitely recommend a full day tour
