There are scenic flights, which
are a fascinating way in which
to see these giant masses of
ice flowing down mountains
through lush native forests
to the sea. Or you can explore
the glaciers with glacier guides
who can provide instruction, a
range of walks and adventures.
Bookings can be made at the
Franz Josef and Fox Glacier
townships.
Excellent self-guided walks are
also available along bush tracks
and to lookout points near the
terminal face of both glaciers.
From these points it is possible
to view arching caves from
where rivers flow out from
under the glaciers.
Don't miss booking a fantastic
kayak experience in Franz
Josef with panoramic views
of the glaciers and mountains
- suitable for all ages and
abilities.
Franz Josef is also home to the
World's rarest kiwi called the
Rowi. There are less than 400
birds left alive in the wild today.
Don't miss a visit to see the
hatching programme and to
see these rare kiwi at the
West
Coast Wildlife Centre just off
the main street. You won't miss
the large green building.
