Reviews: Franz Josef Glacier Heli-Hike

Guest User2024-10-02

I’m an avid traveller and this was easily one of the top three things I’ve ever experienced. The glacier was incredible. The staff and guide, Ruby, were so friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend this experience enough.

It was an incredible tour. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and fun. They tailored the trip to what would be best for the weather and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Stopping for a cuppa at a picturesque spot is a bonus too.

Reviews: Cruise & Rainforest Walk - Franz Josef Glacier

Guest User2024-08-29

The cruise was beautiful and peaceful, and the guided rainforest walk was extremely informative. We learnt about invasive species, trapping methods, and the various plants in the verdant rainforest. Dale, our guide, was funny and knowledgeable, and ensured we were well taken care of throughout the cruise and walk. Highly recommended!

Reviews: Small-Group Kayak Adventure from Franz Josef Glacier

Guest User2024-07-13

We had an awesome morning out on the lake with Pickles (and Oscar), he was welcoming from the start and was full of knowledge about the lake and surrounding area. We had the lake all to ourselves and thoroughly enjoyed the views as well as the laughs, stories and knowledge Pickles shared with us. We would all highly recommend a kayaking trip with the guys, it’s been one of our favourite activities of the trip! Thanks again Pickles and Oscar, from Lewis, Conn, Molly and Lexi!

Reviews: Franz Josef: West Coast Wildlife Centre Entry Ticket

Guest User2025-01-09

Wildlife Zoo in New Zealand offers a unique and immersive experience for visitors. One of the most notable highlights of the zoo is the opportunity to see two Kiwi birds, a symbol of New Zealand’s national identity. The zoo provides a carefully designed habitat for these elusive creatures, allowing visitors to observe them up close in a setting that mirrors their natural environment. The zoo's staff are knowledgeable and passionate, offering informative talks about the Kiwis and their conservation status. Visitors can learn about the ongoing efforts to protect these endangered birds and the challenges they face due to habitat loss and predation from introduced species. Overall, the Wildlife Zoo in New Zealand offers a memorable experience, particularly for those eager to see the Kiwi birds in action.
