Reviews: Franz Josef Glacier Heli-Hike
Guest User2024-10-02
I’m an avid traveller and this was easily one of the top three things I’ve ever experienced. The glacier was incredible. The staff and guide, Ruby, were so friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend this experience enough.
Reviews: Christchurch to Franz Josef Tour with TranzAlpine (1 way)
Guest User2025-03-30
We took the TranzAlpine as part of our journey to Queenstown - breathtaking views all the way! Unfortunately, we faced a surprising 2-hour delay, which was frustrating. If time allows, consider adding Pancake Rocks near Greymouth/Hokitika to your itinerary (though it's a bit far). Still, the landscapes made it worthwhile for train lovers!
Reviews: Franz Josef Glacier: 2.5-Hour Lake Mapourika Cruise and Walk

Very lovely gentle cruise on the lake with lovely short walk on the peninsula. Lots of information about the lake, flora, fauna & wildlife. Our guide Chad was delightful. Very nice easy going activity
Reviews: Franz Josef: 2.5 Hour Glacier Hike with Helicopter Transfer
Guest User2026-01-23
OMG, this was amazing! it was the highlight of my whole NZ holiday & think you would be crazy to miss this experience. Why land on a glacier for 10 mins like other experiences & not get a chance to walk/hike around it & see every crevasse??? The whole team were very professional & i felt safe about the helicopter ride & the walk around the glacier at all times, you are provided with suitable clothing, boots, boot spikes, gloves, headgear etc. I went by myself as a 53yo woman in good condition. You are taken at a slow pace with a professional guide, you will walk or crawl through some ice caves but they change every day so you will see it fresh to the person the day before. I got back from this experience & felt the exhilaration of what i had just seen. i wanted to tell the world on what they are missing out on!
