It was an incredible tour. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and fun. They tailored the trip to what would be best for the weather and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Stopping for a cuppa at a picturesque spot is a bonus too.★

Reviews: Christchurch to Franz Josef Tour with TranzAlpine (1 way)
Guest User2025-03-30
We took the TranzAlpine as part of our journey to Queenstown - breathtaking views all the way! Unfortunately, we faced a surprising 2-hour delay, which was frustrating. If time allows, consider adding Pancake Rocks near Greymouth/Hokitika to your itinerary (though it's a bit far). Still, the landscapes made it worthwhile for train lovers!★

Reviews: Franz Josef: 2.5 Hour Glacier Hike with Helicopter Transfer
Guest User2026-02-04
the most amazing day trip, turned into night time trip for my group. very rare circumstances meant we were flown in, had an amazing 2hr hike, but weather turned bad and we couldn't be flown out. So camped the night with my group and wonderful guides who have everything necessary up there. make sure you are prepared for the risks and its true in the safety briefing they say you can get stranded up there! but totally worth it and would do again. thanks to all staff for a great experience★
