Außergewöhnlich!!!_br/_ Tolle Besatzung, super Flug! Wir haben uns jederzeit sicher gefühlt. Empfehlenswert! Der Ablauf war Problemlos und sehr professionell. Es war eine atemberaubende Erfahrung mit einem Helikopter auf einem Gletscher zu landen. Wir hatten genug Zeit um tolle Fotos zu schießen und uns von unserem tollen Piloten die Landschaft erklären zu lassen. Sehr zu empfehlen!!! _br/_ Wir würden jederzeit wieder fliegen._br/_ Der Flug auf den Gletscher war eines der schönsten Unternehmungen die wir je gemacht haben. Wir hatten schönstes Wetter und tolle Sicht auf Gletscher und schneebedeckte Gipfel. Ein muss in Neuseeland....

Hands down the best tour I have been on! The glacier was amazing! Our guide, Justin did a great job keeping us all entertained and telling us about the glacier! The equipment they provide was clean and in excellent condition.

Wow!! What an adventure. This was a great excursion. The helicopter ride was about 10-15 minutes and then 3 hours on the ice. Don't be afraid of walking on ice and through crevasses. The guide was helpful and started slowly so everyone became comfortable walking with crampons. Highly recommend this excursion.

It's not my first glacier and I can say it was really amazing! The track on the glacier was really interesting, including walking inside the glacier and watching a lot of stunning views. Strongly recommended.

Really fun. Worth it. What's not amazing about taking a helicopter up on a glacier and walking around. The pools, which are included, were busy but you have 24h to use the voucher. I would say try to get on the glacier asap during your stay in Franz Josef.

I was in New Zealand for 9 days and this was my favorite part of the trip. The guides were great and the hike really made you appreciate the enormity of the glacier. We trekked through some crevices in the ice that allowed you to see the inside of the glacier. All in all it was definitely worth the money.

Great experience. Tour guide was awesome. The thermal pools at the end were great as well especially if the temperatures are a little cooler. Don't forget to drink some of the glacier water that is running either.
 

Review by:   Kristen S,    May 2017 3 star review of Small-Group Franz Josef Glacier Walk - worth doing.
First I have to say that we were supposed to do a helihike but were not able to due to weather. This was a huge disappointment, and although we knew weather could cancel the helihike, I wish we had known that it happens quite frequently. We questioned whether it was worth it if we could only get within 700 meters of the glacier. It was definitely worth taking the valley walk! It was still cool to see the glacier and it felt closer than I thought it would. The walk was beautiful, with rushing water, the mountains, waterfalls, and rain forest. It's not that the walk wasn't good, but, It is worth noting that you can take this walk for free, even parking your car in the same car park our bus dropped us off in. I'm not sure we learned anymore from our guide either than we could have just by reading the signs posted at the walk. We also had to go at the pace of the group, although they did break us into 2 groups when we got off the bus, a fast and a slow group, in the end we had to wait for everyone before we could leave. We had some stragglers. Pros of paying for group: hot chocolate when you arrive at glacier access to hot pools afterwards is included in fee they provide rain gear and boots great IF the weather is bad. The hot pools are just large hot tubs, although they are set beautifully outside, they aren't anything special. The facilities for changing were excellent: clean, large, showers, lockers. You can also pay to do just the hot pools.

Everything about this walk was excellent! The pilot, the guide, the staff preparing the glacier. And of course, how amazing to be walking on a glacier and squeezing between blue ice crevices!

We were so lucky having a cloudless sky for our visit. We had 3 hours on the glacier and had no problems with the crampons etc. The crawl through the ice cave was different and exciting.

We had a great time on the walk and our guide Andrew was excellent. He told us stories about how the glacier got its Maori and English names, told us about the features of the glacier, and guided us through some tricky portions with patience and good advice. He also had a great sense of humor. It's amazing being on the glacier, and we were lucky to get a chance to do so due to good weather it was raining on previous days. Highly recommend going if you're moderately physically fit.
