| Getting There |
Franz Josef is approximately 1.5 hours drive south from Hokitika and approximately 4 hours drive North from Lake Wanaka. Both of these stretches of road have their fair share of corners, but most agree that it is worth the journey. Keep your camera handy as the views from the road are well worth stopping for the photo.As fuel stations are few and far between in South Westland, it is well worth making a fuel stop before leaving either Hokitika or Wanaka. There is a small supermarket in town which has all the basics and there are a variety of restaurants available. |

| Things To Do |
There are many activities and tours designed for all age groups and physical abilities, all aiming to give you the best Glacier experience possible. Two companies provide guided trips onto the ice. Both offices are located within a few minutes walk of the motel and both provide return transport to the glacier car park, which is less than 10 minutes drive away. Glacier Valley Eco Tours provide guided walks which pick you up from our motel and take you for a walk up the Glacier valley. These are great for those that want to find out about the Glacier Valley without actually having to climb it. Their daily experience they can lead you up to the face of the glacier and beyond the rope barrier to experience more than those self-guiding. If you want to experience something other than the Glacier whilst here I recommend a trip with Ferg’s Kayaks. These tours head out for a paddle on a local lake, no experience necessary. Their office is just along the road from us. If the above sounds much too physical or you want to get the best view of the Glacier, treat yourself to a spectacular plane or helicopter flight. Mt Cook ski planes actually land on the snow, if the conditions are right! The other option for a view from above is a helicopter flight. As far as just enjoying the Glacier Country at your own pace there are many walking tracks which offer stunning views. The main walk up to the glacier is 45 minutes one way from the car park. This leads you up to about 20 meters from the Glacier. The Glacier is currently roped off so you can not touch it. As it is on the move resulting in the front face being quite unsteady. The Glacier although over all retreating is coming down about 200mm per day at the present. I recommend a drive to Okarito if you can fit it into your visit. Other than the isolated beach there is the Okarito Lagoon, New Zealand's largest unmodified wetland. This wetland is home to nearly 70 species of birds and is the seasonal feeding ground of the elegant White Heron. We can arrange boat trips out on this lagoon through a local operator. We offer our guests a free booking service for all tours as outlined above. On your arrival we can help you find a tour that suits your energy level, your budget and the weather conditions. I hope that this is of some help to you in planning your stay in Franz Josef. We look forward to meeting you and wish the best for your visit to South Westland’s Glacier Country. See you soon, |
