Our helicopter trip was cancelled due to poor weather so we booked this walk for something to do, and it surpassed our expectations. It was great fun and our guide Jake although laid back was full of interesting facts and information. we saw the Franz Josef glacier and trekked through jungle and onto the glacier river bed. We recommend this trip and Jake.

Franz Josef: Franz Josef Glacier Lookout Guided WalkReviewed byAlastair,2/23/2025

Unbelievable experience! The helicopter flight to the glacier was short but incredible. Our guide (Maya) was excellent, and it was awesome to hike around on the glacier and experience it from such a unique perspective. I felt really lucky that the weather was good, as these trips can often be canceled due to bad weather. Absolutely worth the money!!

Franz Josef Glacier: 2.5-Hour Hike with Helicopter TransferReviewed byMaja,2/25/2025
5 out of 5 stars

Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Because it was raining it made the forest and surrounding mountains very atmospheric. The temperate rainforest was very special and we were followed all the way by a little black fantail. We also saw Heron, ducks and white fan tails. A fabulous experience.

Both of our guides (Nicola & Sydney) were excellent. Very knowledgeable, & extremely friendly. The boat ride out over the lake in the sunshine was a great way to start the day, & the short walk through the rain forest was extremely enjoyable, especially for me as a birder!
