For a day by the water with a difference, plan an excursion to the steaming pools of Glacier Hot Pools. This place is renowned for its mineral-rich thermal waters.
This naturally heated water source is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Franz Josef Glacier. But Glacier Hot Pools isn't the only highlight in the area. Franz Josef Glacier, Westcoast Wildlife Centre, and Our Lady of the Alps are some other interesting sights nearby.
