Franz Josef Glacier Guides

We went on a half day glacier hike with Franz Josef Glacier Guide. We arrived at the tour office early in the morning for registration. After that, we were equipped with a rain jacket, waterproof trousers, boots and a small waist bag all provided the tour company. A bus will then take us to the foot of the glacier where we'll have to track through the rainforest, along the glacier valley. We walked on a ice, climbing through crevices and moving up the glacier. It was very slippery, a member of our tour group fell and had some serious injury. The guide had to call an emergency helicopter for rescue. The view was spectacular, seeing the blue ice and mountain covered with ice. Overall, we had an awesome experience.
