WHY CHOOSE US?

The Most Spectacular Glacier

The Franz Josef Glacier is the most spectacular commercially guided glacier in New Zealand, the more dramatic terrain a direct result of its rugged gradient.

More sunshine hours

The Franz Josef Glacier receives many more hours of direct sunlight throughout the year. More time in the sun means a warmer, more enjoyable glacier experience.

More ice time

Our trips are longer in duration than others offered, with considerably more time on the ice, making them exceptional value for money.
