Discover Two Iconic Glaciers on One Stunning Nature Tour

The Twin Glacier Tour brings together the best of New Zealand’s West Coast in one full-day experience. Wander through lush rainforest trails with your guide, discovering regenerating native bush and towering rimu and rata trees. As you approach the glacier viewpoints, dramatic icefields and cascading waterfalls unfold before you.

You’ll explore both Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers—each with their own unique geological features and ecological stories. Learn how the movement of ice has shaped the land and get a deeper understanding of the ecosystems that thrive in this UNESCO-listed environment. It’s an enriching, scenic journey ideal for curious travellers and nature lovers alike.
