while you are in Franz Josef Glacier, your Guided Glacier Trips options are...

New Zealands Franz Josef Glacier is the world’s steepest and fastest flowing commercially guided glacier. With its rugged gradient you will enjoy the most dramatic glacier scenery available anywhere on the planet. The Franz Josef Glacier Guides has a tour to suit your inclination and fitness, and you can even combine an awesome scenic helicopter flight with a guided hike.

For those who are less adventurous an alternative to actually climbing on the Glacier is a relaxed eco-style tour with Glacier Valley Eco Tours. They can take you to explore the Franz Josef Glacier and other special parts of Glacier Country in one day. They also provide a shuttle service to the Franz Josef Glacier car park and other tracks in the area.
