Here’s our pick of the best walks in Franz Josef

There are so many great walks in Franz Josef, it’s hard to decide which are the best. We really liked the Franz Josef Glacier walk and Callery Gorge walk for easy fitness and great views.

See the full list of walks a bit further down this page. I haven’t managed to hike up Roberts Point yet, but Garry has and the hard slog to get to the summit was well worth it especially on a sunny day for excellent views of Franz Josef Glacier.

SAVE 34% on a 30 min Heli Flight over the Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacer – Priced from only $280 saving up to $145!

Better do the Glacier walk now!

Unfortunately, the view of the glacier face is getting further and further away with the glacier receding at such a fast rate, it’s a shame. Best you go there quickly before you can’t see it at all unless you take a heli hike or a scenic plane flight.
