About
Begin with an exhilarating helicopter flight that soars high above lush rainforests, the Southern Alps and the majestic ice formations of Franz Josef Glacier before landing on the ice. From here, your adventure truly begins. Your expert guide will lead you off the beaten path to explore hidden ice caves, towering seracs, and unique features as you traverse the glacier. This experience has a small guide-to-client ratio and 5.5 hours of ice time providing the opportunity to challenge yourself by abseiling down an ice wall and or traversing a crevasse.
