Don't miss out! Book early to avoid disappointment.

Franz Josef Glacier (Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere) is widely regarded as one of the most unique glaciers in the world. This is because of its location in a temperate rainforest and the fact that it's one of the fastest-moving glaciers around.

We've created a range of tours that explore these unique features up close, providing a spectacular glacier experience whatever your ability or budget. 

Walk the path of the glacier's history along the Waiho riverbed and discover all it has left behind. Experience the thrill of a helicopter flight, landing high up on the ice to explore the glacier, or challenge yourself with an adrenaline-packed ice climb. Take on the ultimate glacier adventure with an overnight alpine camping expedition, and experience the magic of the glacier under the stars. If your ultimate glacier experience is all about getting spectacular views from above and a snow landing without the hike, then a scenic flight with Vantage Helicopters is for you.

Please note: Due to COVID-19 only Heli Hike Tours are currently operating. Heli Hike Tours are operated by The Helicopter Line with guiding services provided by Franz Josef Glacier Guides.
