Franz Josef Glacier Walk - Duration: 4.5 Hours
The trip proceeds on to the terminal face of the glacier for approximately 1½ hours (conditions permitting). The terrain can look daunting but be assured, the pre-formed access-ways make it achievable for most agile people in the 5-60 year age range. Hundreds of sprightly seniors and toddlers in backpacks have enjoyed the experience.  We always climb down the same way we went up as it is rarely possible to find two feasible access routes on the ever-changing glacier.
