Franz Josef Glacier Guides: trips rates

Franz Josef Glacier Guides, New Zealand - Full day glacier adventure

The trip is the same as the Glacier Experience until you leave the main trail behind and disappear into the first ice fall, a maze of crevasses and seracs where the adventure truly begins.

The scenery is spectacular and with a total of five hours on the ice you could find yourself in all manner of situations, from squeezing through tight blue crevasses to “Franz Shuffling” down near vertical walls of ice.

Gaining confidence as you go, your guide will take you through some of the most stunning and challenging terrain imaginable. The Ice Talonz on your feet and the excellent step cutting skills of your guide are what make this trip the best.

Suitable for most people with a reasonable level of fitness and a sense of humour, this trip will satisfy even the most adventurous amongst us.
