Don't miss this by hippie1427

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 :-).

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 :)
