What to Expect
Travel reference:

With the combination of an exhilarating helicopter ride, jaw-dropping scenery and a 3 hour hike through the most spectacular glacier features, you will have an unforgettable experience here!



Your journey starts at the glacier base in Franz Josef Village where the friendly team will check you in, get you kitted out with the essential gear and give you a pre-trip briefing. From here, your guide will lead you on a short walk through the native forest to the helipad and get you ready to board your helicopter. As you board your helicopter, you will have an opportunity to take in the full panoramic majesty of Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere nestled within the surrounding mountains.



Your pilot will land you high up on the glacier where your guide will help you make the final preparations for your hike before you head off to explore the pristine features of this incredible icescape. During the hike, your guide will share with you the story of Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere, their knowledge of the glacier and surrounding area and insight on why Franz Josef is so unique. You'll come away from your trip not only with a sense of awe at this majestic beauty but a whole new understanding of why this precious landmark is so special.


Nothing can be a better way to end a day of exploring the glacier than relaxing in the heavenly warmth of a hot pool! You'll also have a chance to get access to the Franz Josef Glacier Hot pools, located in the glacier base building in the heart of Franz Josef Glacier.
