Heli Quad Combo

The ultimate quad bike experience. Take an exhilarating 30mins scenic helicopter flight from Franz Josef township. Explore the glacial icefalls of not one but two glaciers-Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier.Discover up close their neve and unsual ice formations-landing on the snowfiels is a highlight and will make for superb photos, snowballs and memories.

Quad bike adventures

After your scenic flight, depart our "quad base" and head across stony braided riverbeds, see glacial fed rivers and listen to our guides tell you about local history. Drive though dense rain forest and soak up the atmosphere as you pass by ferns, mosses and mature podocarp trees in this lush watery world.

Ride out to 10,000year old moraine left by ancient glacial pathways and enjoy enough space to roam. View snow capped peaks and "Ka Roimata o Hinehukatere" otherwise known as the Franz Josef glacier as it plunges from around 2500 metres into the green canopy of the forest a mere 230 metres above sea level.

Enjoy a cup of tea or chocolate at the shelter and hear the old Maori legend of the glacier, its geology and tales of pioneers and adventures from times past. Take on the mud if you dare!

You spend approx. 1-1 1/2 hr on the bikes
