Active adventure, relaxation or family fun all against the backdrop of spectacular scenery, Glacier Country offers something for everyone.

Create your own unforgettable Glacier Country experience from the wealth of things to do in Franz Josef Glacier, Fox Glacier, Okarito and the surrounding area.

•The twin glaciers of Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier – these rivers of ice plunging down through rainforest to almost sea level are true wonders of nature.
