Heli-hiking glaciers in Franz Josef and Mount Cook

Our accounts of heli-hiking in Franz Josef Glacier and Mount Cook, one of the best experiences in New Zealand. We've hiked in quite a few places over the years, but it wasn't until New Zealand that we added glacier to the list. It's safe to say, that these were two of the most incredible experiences we've ever had, hiking on top of the world in the stunning Franz Josef Glacier and Mount Cook.

Wollangambe River: an easy introduction to the majestic Wollangambe Canyon

This section of the Wollangambe River offers a spectacular and relatively easy adventure through the canyon. Walk, wade and occasionally swim though crystal clear water stopping at small sandy beaches to bask in the sunshine. A great introduction to canyoning without the tricky scrambles found in other canyons in the area.
