Franz Josef Glacier

A glacier that comes down almost to sea level through rainforest, a helicopter ride that lands you directly on the ice in under ten minutes, and hot pools a short walk from the terminal face for after.
The best time to visit Franz Josef Glacier is Nov–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 12°C (53°F).
