Franz-Josef travel guide - New Zealand travel destinations guide

Francis Joseph is a "cool" small city in the rain forest with some cosy pubs, cafés, cinemas and heated swimming pool, close to the foot of the Franz Josef Gletscher. Franz Josef was named after the ice by the geographer Julius von Haast in honor of the Austrian Kaiser.

The Maori myth says that the majestic Maori glaciers are actually the frostbitten eyes of a virgin named Hinehukatere who wept for the one she dear. Huihokatere was a heartbroken man and with her weeping at such a great height her eyes became icy and made up the spectacle we all see today.

Franz Josef Glacier, 12 km long, is one of the quickest glacier in the whole wide range, growing up to 1.5 meters per second. Discover the glacier! Be it by trekking to see it, on foot or by chopper over the summit!

It is one of the most appreciated ways to discover the valley with Franz Josef guides. You take a brief flight by plane from the city to the summit of the summit of the majestic mountain where you can take lightning boots with iron handles for a stroll on the majestic mountain plateau and discover the labyrinth of glaciers with an experienced tour leader who can tell you everything you need to know about the formation of the iceberg.

It is a great free way to see the ice and may be your only choice if the climate is not clear enough for a helipad. Take a bus from the city to the beginning of the route (unless you want to continue for another 5 km). On the way back to the wall of the station (where you can see the last part of the glacier) it takes about 45 minutes and some parts are free rocks, so you need a good set of heels.

Sentinel Rock Walk and Peter's Pool Tracks also depart from the parking lot. Helicopters over Franz Josef and Fox GlaciersIf you want to see both Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier and Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest peak, you can see it all on a brief flight from the city of Franz Josef.

A few parcels of helicopters contain a landing on the skies, others only the flights - there are different parcels. The Glacier Hot Swimming pools are the ideal way to end the days. It has three swimming baths with different temperature in the beautiful local shrub, which enhances the relaxed atmoshere.

When you have reserved one of the Franz Josef Glacier Guides trips, you will receive free admission to the Glacier Hot Pools, otherwise you can make your payment at the doors. West Coast Wildlife Centre is located in the municipality of Franz Josef. Hike through a naturally looking scrubland and see if you can discover the Rowi kiwis, one of the most at-risk.

Here you can find out more about the kiwifruit protection program and a little more about the Iglacier. Franz Josef actually has a whole series of respectable eateries, bars, cafés and baker' s shops for a small city. Go to Franz Josef! Francis Joseph is one of the most frequently spoken Stray stop and there is no mystery as to why.

It is the country where the glacier meets the rain forest and it is a helicopter walk that has become the definitive Franz Josef legend. But don't be deceived - there are many other unbelievable things to see and do in this city on the west coast! This is a one-of-a-kind kayaking experience, just a few moments from the Franz Josef Glacier with a panorama view of the highest summits and majestic New Zealand sands!

Flying over two of New Zealand's most renowned icebergs, Franz Josef and Fox Glicier. A stroll through the local rain forest, with a nice view, a historical viaduct and interesting relicts from the time of golden mines. Peter's pool was created from the melting snow of the snow and on a clear, quiet sunny days the glacial valleys and peaks are mirrored in the rock.

Sentinel is a scenic hike with a magnificent view of the ice, the valleys and the Sentinel. The Rainforest Retreat is the favourite lodging of Stray in Franz Josef and is located.....
