WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT OUR FULL-DAY TOURS
Trip Advisor Review (Shari208)
An amazing day with all gear that was needed fully supplied as part of the deal. I can't believe that one man could hold such interesting in-depth glacial, bushcraft and local knowledge. Then deliver it back to our group in such a fun way. As a family, we thoroughly enjoyed our adventures off the beaten path. We had the most fantastic day and are eager to come back and enjoy more adventures with Cliff and the awesome team, we seriously can't recommend them enough." - Franz Josef Glacier + Fox Glacier Combo Tour

If you don't book this tour you are missing out. I was lucky enough to spend an entire day with Cliff seeing both glaciers and the lake. The tour was fantastic, Cliff was full of knowledge and passion for the area. His expertise was almost endless on the glaciers, trees, moss, fungi and even rocks. Cliff managed our group well and discretely assessed our individual needs. He was kind to me when I felt I was going slow. I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough. You will learn so much and have a great relaxed walking day. 5*!!! - Franz Josef, Fox Glacier & Lake Matheson Combo Tour
