Plan your trip

Our aim is to offer the essentials, at an affordable price, while surrounded by peaceful rainforest. Located directly opposite the Glacier Base building, home to the iSite, Hot Pools, Franz Josef Glacier Guides and DOC you can park up and relax

A combination of the Franz Josef Glacier Nature Tour, Fox Glacier Nature Tour and the Lake Matheson Nature Tour. Experience all three of these popular visitor sites in our area all in one day and save.

Our off-road adventure tour is Franz Josef Glaciers' ultimate rainy day activity. Get down and dirty in the mud, splash through puddles and experience the rainforest in all its glory. We provide all the equipment you need.

Bed and breakfast accommodation on a 700 acre working beef farm adjoining Lake Matheson with its awesome alpine views. A wide variety of animals can be see on the farm. Cows, sheep, donkeys, horses, dogs and peacocks.

This flight covers it all. Snow landings, glacier icefalls, crevasses and neves, all with views from the ocean to the alps. Cross the Southern Alps’ rugged spine & circle the peak of New Zealand’s highest mountain, the magnificent Aoraki/Mount Cook.

It is our passion to be up in the air enjoying every minute of the stunning views. That feeling and that view is what we would love to share with you, and we promise to give you a once in a lifetime experience.
