Great ‘off the ice’ experience
This was a great tour of the valley, walking through forests, seeing waterfalls and getting a glimpse at the Franz Josef Glacier (we had heavy rain and misty on the day so didn’t expect to see much). David, the guide, was friendly, informative and entertaining. If you’re looking for an off the ice experience with a friendly organisation then this is the tour for you!

Guided tour well worth it
Our tour guide was excellent - very friendly and approachable, giving good explanations of the glacier and its environs. It was good to get off the main track for a part of the tour.

헬기보다 값진 만족스러운 시간
헬기가 비싸고 리뷰 중 실망했다는 글이 하나 있어서 걱정했지만 운 좋게 날씨도 매우 좋았고 가이드해준 Rose양의 친절한 설명과 자연스러운 대화로 금방 즐겁게 자연에 동화될 수 있었습니다. 빙하가 살아 움직이는 생명처럼 느껴질 정도로 자세하고 재미있게 설명해준 지질학 전공의 Rose양에게 감사를 표합니다^^thank you, Rose. Had really nice time because of you♡9
