Tour Description
The journey from Queenstown to Franz Josef Glacier by fixed-wing aircraft lasts an awe-inspiring hour, showcasing breathtaking vistas along the way.

As the helicopter traverses over majestic icefalls and cascading waterfalls, it eventually touches down on the upper icefall of Franz Josef Glacier. Equipped with crampons, you’ll spend two hours exploring the glacier’s intricate network of caves and witnessing its natural splendor—a constantly evolving marvel nestled in the South Island of New Zealand.
