Franz Josef Glacier Guides Limited

Franz Josef Glacier Guides operates from Glacier Base on Cron Street in Franz Josef, on the South Island's West Coast. The business is part of Ngāi Tahu Tourism and holds Qualmark and AdventureMark accreditation, running guided trips on Kā Roimata o Hine Hukatere (Franz Josef Glacier).

The focus is helicopter-accessed glacier walks, ranging from short 30-minute heli-hikes to multi-day ice experiences, plus ice climbing instruction and scenic flights over the glacier and surrounding alpine terrain. Guides work with small groups and add geological and cultural context, and the company partners on fixed-wing connections to Queenstown.
