Creaking rivers of ice. Glowing blue-white ice crevasses. Antiques of the Ice Age... Discover Glacier Country. Out of the 140 glaciers flowing from the soaring peaks of New Zealand's Southern Alps, only two creep as far as the lower rainforests - the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers.
But for anyone seeking icy adventure, there's a huge variety of thrill seeker options. Guiding companies offer guided glacier walks, climbing experiences, or you can take a heli-hike or scenic flight over breath taking views, landing on the snow for a real taste of alpine life!
Across Country Quad BikesThe best way to explore Glacier Country! Travel through ever changing river bed, gloriously muddy grasslands and peaceful rainforest with stunning views of the Mountains and Franz Josef Glacier! A fantastic all weather activity, especially on those odd rainy days! Come play in the mud on our Two Seater, Automatic Quad Bikes! |
