Reviews: New Zealand Mount Cook Tasman Glacier/Fox Glacier/Franz Josef Glacier Helicopter Tour + Glacier Hike [Professional equipment provided, blue ice cave experience]

Guest User2026-02-23

A three-hour hike is a bit strenuous, but not boring, and totally manageable. The guide is also funny and professional. Worth the experience.

Great boat ride. Beautiful views. Just dress warmly, the wind is strong and cold.

Reviews: Kaikoura Fishing with Captain TOMO/IAN [Deep Sea Fishing & Lobster Catching]

Guest User2026-02-21

We caught lobsters and some fish fillets (the captain will process the fish and distribute them to each family). Because I get seasick, my fishing experience wasn't great, but my travel companions who don't get seasick had a blast!
