Te reo Māori is woven into our mahi / work and the places we explore.

These are just a few of the kupu / words that connect our guides, our manuhiri / visitors and the landscapes we are lucky enough to share.

This Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the language that is already part of our everyday experience on the glacier.

"I only ever write reviews for experiences I did around the world if I think it deserves 5 ⭐️'s: this was one of the first things I did after I landed in New Zealand and it simply took my breath away.

Our AMAZING, WONDERFUL, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE guide, Ruby, made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole journey and the crampons (+ other gear they provided) were super helpful. This was definitely one of my favourite experiences in New Zealand."

Adventure can leave a positive footprint. 🌿

At Franz Josef Glacier Guides, caring for this place goes hand in hand with sharing it.

As part of our sustainability mahi, we work alongside the Ōkārito Native Plants Trust to support regenerative planting projects across Glacier Country, helping restore native vegetation and support the long-term health of this special environment.

Our manuhiri can be part of this mahi too. When booking an experience with us, you can choose to add a native tree, which will be planted here in Glacier Country on your behalf. 🌱

It’s one small way your visit can contribute to the place you’ve come to experience.

Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei
For us and our children after us.

Most glacier adventures end when the helicopter leaves.
Ours is just getting started.

A night on the ice. Sunset over the glacier. Stars above your tent. Coffee at sunrise.
