Glacier country New Zealand

things to do in Franz Josef

The Glacier region of New Zealand's West Coast offers many activities and things to do:

Heli-hike on the glacier; take a guided glacier walk, experience ancient glacier moraine on a two seater quad bike. Or perhaps a scenic flight over the glacier; jet boat; go hunting and fishing or take a sedate walk amongst the beautiful rain forest.

Fascinating wildlife also abounds. View the majestic white herons (Kotuku) in New Zealand's only breeding colony, see the Westland Black Petrel in the world's only breeding grounds, watch Hectors dolphins, New Zealand Fur Seals and little blue penguins playing in the Tasman Sea surf.

Whatever your interest, you need go no further than your friendly providers of Franz Josef Accommodation. We at Glenfern Villas will advise you on what are the best activities for you and we can make arrangements for all your needs.
