Things to do in Franz Josef

I went for a 19000 feet skydiving with skydive franz and the view of the glacier was just astonishing 🏔

Adventurous friends will never get bored of the exciting and interesting activities here: helicopter hikes on the glacier, skydiving, rafting... everything is available.

A truly worthwhile trip (helicopter + glacier hiking). With global warming accelerating glacier melting, hikers are making the most of their time to experience the joy of glacier hiking firsthand, getting up close and personal with the process of glacier formation—from the accumulation of solid precipitation to the compaction and recrystallization of snow into ice, and finally, glacial ice.

This popular and spectacular fly-in, fly-out Flying Fox gives you the once in a lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal to the remarkable beauty of the Fox Glacier, by helicopter and on foot!

The Lin'an Art Museum is located inside the Wu-Yue Cultural Park, which also houses the Lin'an Museum and the Wu-Yue Cultural Museum. The art museum is not large, but it is quite exquisitely decorated, and the surrounding environment is fantastic. You can visit it while you are at the museum.

Excellent! Excellent organization and staff! The helicopters hadn't flown for four days while we waited. Everything was visible. It wasn't cold. The flight had a layover. Thanks to the team and the pilot. Definitely take the flight with a stop in the snow!

The scenery is amazing, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery from different angles by taking a helicopter... The cost performance has great room for improvement, and part of the price of the helicopter 🚁 is the kb of the tour guide...

New Zealand's South Island is rich in glacier resources. There are many small airports in many places, such as the two sides of Mount Cook and Milford Sound, that offer helicopter sightseeing. According to the tour guide, New Zealand is one of the few countries that allows helicopters to land on glaciers. As the climate warms, it is not known whether restrictions will be imposed in the future. This project is also easily affected by the weather. Even if the sun is shining at the foot of the mountain, the weather conditions on the mountain do not allow it to fly, so please cherish and enjoy it if you are lucky enough to participate. Looking down at the glacier does have an indescribable beauty, and the moment you step on the ice sheet, many people will shout out in excitement, completely forgetting the not-so-cheap fee. Although you don't stay on the glacier for a long time, the wind created by the helicopter rotor is quite strong, and the ground is ice, not snow, so please take warm and anti-slip measures before departure.

We stayed in Fox Town that day. The town is not big. It takes 6 minutes to walk and 2 minutes to drive. There is a large parking lot at the helicopter registration point, which is convenient. We reported half an hour in advance, and the staff gave a safety explanation. Then we drove to the helicopter airport, which is about 10 minutes away. It is convenient and fast.

We visited this trail in July, during the winter months, and it drizzled on and off throughout the day. A pleasant surprise was seeing a rainbow. The scenery was stunning, with a mirror-like lake and lush greenery resembling a tropical rainforest. The hike was about three kilometers long and took approximately an hour, with constantly changing views – a truly enjoyable experience. Our Mt Cook View Motel was conveniently located just a three-minute drive away.
