while you are in Franz Josef Glacier, your Adventure & Adrenaline options are...

Glacier Country has some heart-thumping action on offer and some interesting ways to see the Glaciers if you are interested in adrenaline and adventure. How about ice climbing on the Franz Josef Glacier or one of New Zealand's most spectacular scenic flights and a visually awesome Tandem Skydive over the Fox Glacier?

With well over a thousand rivers and creeks flowing from the Southern Alps to the Tasman Sea one of Glacier Country’s secrets is being a world class Mecca for white water activities. You can experience this by doing a heli-rafting tour in the gorges of the Whataroa or Perth Rivers. 

You can ride an ATV quad bike over the braided riverbeds of the Waiho River through forests, grasslands and lots of mud. Explore the Glacier Country on horseback or try driving off-road buggys through rainforests and farmland.
