This is a fantastic introduction to an enthralling world of ice, traversing spectacular tracks of only moderate difficulty. Our walk is longer in duration than others offered allowing you more time to enjoy the impressive terrain on the lower reaches of Franz Josef Glacier.

After a short walk through regenerating rainforest, the trip continues along the glacier valley with your guide calling stops to explain the unique features of the Franz Josef Glacier and its surroundings.

After strapping on crampons you make your way up the terminal face of the glacier, where pre-formed tracks make exploring the lower reaches of the glacier achievable for most agile people.
