Rachel – New Zealand

Exhilarating for a 61 y/o but I love every minute of it. Karl our guide is very accommodating and encouraging. Nice photo shots provided by him. I will do it again when back in Franz Josef, good value for the money.

Janina – United Kingdom

Our guide (Karl) was superb, and went out of his way to ensure this ageing “old rock chick” had an amazing time! It will be a lasting, glorious memory of my trip to NZ. Thankyou!
