Experience the ultimate glacier adventure activity on the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand.

Glaciers are normally deemed the turf for experienced high mountain climbers, but thanks to nature’s design - everyone has the opportunity to experience the rugged natural beauty that is Franz Josef glacier!

We have helped Mother Nature by carving a grand staircase for you to ascend from the lowland valley of lush rainforest onto the very tip of the glacier as it descends to greet you.

The Half Day tour is a wonderful introduction to the Franz Josef Glacier and is an informative 4 hours return tour accessing the glacier via ancient ice carved valleys.

Suitable for most ages and abilities, if your schedule is tight or you simply want a short, economical tour to get a taste of glacier formations and moraines - this tour is perfect for you or your family.

Morning and afternoon departures available, join your friendly guide on a wonderful glacier experience with plenty of photo opportunities.
