Descending from the Southern Alps and sitting just 300 meters above sea level, Franz Josef is an ideal stop for any adventurer! Take a guided walk and discover ice caves, crevasses, and stunning blue ice formations or treat yourself to a once in a lifetime scenic helicopter ride over this incredible landscape.
This World heritage area offers an incredible insight into New Zealand's geological history, plenty of stunning photo opportunities and to cap it all off, you can even warm up in the series of hot pools right at the base of the glacier. Backpackers World specialises in all the best ways to take in the tremendous landscapes of Franz Josef Glacier.
