Private & custom tours

Tour Franz Josef Glacier and explore cracks, crevasses and more. The blue-colored hues of this icy landscape will make you feel like you're on another planet.

Situated in Westland Tai Poutini National Park, this mass of ice is well worth a visit. But you'll find a great deal more to explore in this area. Fox Glacier, Glacier Hot Pools, and Westcoast Wildlife Centre aren't too far from Franz Josef Glacier.

I was there 10 years ago. It is very disappointing what climate change will do. So much less to see.
