Far away, high above New Zealand’s wild West Coast, where clouds drift like whispers across ancient ice, lies a world few have ever touched. Here, time slows to the rhythm of melting snow and the pulse of the mountains — a place where night falls on pure blue silence and you fall asleep beneath a sky so close it feels alive.
Your journey begins in the lush rainforest of Franz Josef, where your guide prepares you for the flight of a lifetime. The helicopter lifts you over emerald valleys and sculpted ridges before landing on the glacier itself — a frozen cathedral of light. Guided through its shimmering maze of ice walls and hidden crevasses, you’ll feel the raw breath of the Alps and the quiet awe of untouched nature. This is the only place in New Zealand where you can stay overnight on a glacier.
As evening settles, your camp becomes a haven of comfort: warm drinks, local cuisine, and a night beneath a thousand stars. The next morning, rise to the first blush of dawn, fly back to the valley, and unwind in rainforest luxury at Te Waonui — a perfect finale to an experience that feels almost otherworldly. Join us, and spend a night where earth and sky become one!
