Things to do in Franz Josef

The West Coast Glacier area is a famous tourist area on the South Island of New Zealand. However, due to the unique geographical location of the West Coast, the warm and humid air currents from the sea are blocked by the Central Mountain Range when they come ashore, and the weather is changeable, so roads here are often closed!

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.

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.

It sounds like a must-visit place. We boarded this trip under the blue sky and white clouds. The young and strong Jiji chose both hiking and helicopter without hesitation. The experience was perfect at once. The scenery is really different near and far. If you have enough physical strength, it is recommended to do both methods at the same time.

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...

【View】The walk was nice even in wet weather. Unfortunately it was not possible to walk all the way to Kā Roimataō Hine Hukatere / FJ Glacier due to flooding changing the river course, but you can still see it from the observation point.

This area is located in the southern part of the Alps, and the most famous place here is Queenstown. In this place, you can find a place suitable for climbing. Go and see it, it is actually quite good. There are also many tourists coming here.

Milford Sound is one of the most iconic natural landscapes on New Zealand's South Island, often hailed as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," and a UNESCO World Heritage Site within Fiordland National Park. The most classic experience here is a boat tour. The boat glides through the dark waters of the fjord, flanked by steep cliffs carved by glaciers. Mettler Peak soars into the clouds, and Bowen and Stirling Falls flow year-round. After rain, countless temporary waterfalls cascade down the cliffs, creating a truly breathtaking spectacle. With luck, you might spot seals basking on the rocks, or even encounter dolphins and Fiordland penguins. Overall, Milford Sound isn't a "check-off" destination; it's best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. The waterfalls are often more spectacular on rainy days, so don't let rain deter you from your trip. If you have ample time, consider departing from Te Anau or opting for an overnight cruise to avoid the daytime crowds and create a more immersive experience.

One of the famous mountains in the South Island, Mount Cook The top of the mountain is covered with glaciers all year round There is a campsite at the foot of the mountain, which is a good place to camp and watch the stars. The campground is the entrance to Hooker Valley Track Good weather with bright sunshine The trail is very comfortable to walk on There are three suspension bridges along the way, and the river bed can be seen from the suspension bridge. Those who are afraid of heights should think carefully.
