We enjoyed the area! See the glacier while it is still there! There are many helicopter options, but you don't need to do that to have a good experience! Best time to visit glacier track is early; can get crowded with tour groups later in the day.

Loved nearby national park walks, signage made it easy to find our way and decide which walks to do. Restaurants and tour companies are in same area so it's easy to walk and find what you need. We loved our heli tour of Franz Joseoh & Fox glaciers.

In a past visit, we were able to walk to and onto the glacier. Since then no longer available as others have messed it up for all. And the glacier has receded a lot in 40 years

Franz Josef area was great, though we couldn't go up in the heli due to bad weather, but we did lots of trekking all around!

I guess most people are probably passing through like us in a one or two night stay and you know what you're coming for so no real surprises (unless you're unlucky enough to have the weather close in and bring some activity to a stop)

Beautiful area but not much going on there if that is what you are expecting. A few restaurants and the center of town is like a block long.

In my personal opinion Franz Josef Glacier is more imposing than Fox Glacier. Having been to both.

Visit now before the glacier is no longer visible. That or stop climate change. :(
"Great little one night stay in heart of Franz Josef. Man at check in was so happy and friendly that I left there smiling. Our room was basic but had everything we needed. Beds weren’t the most comfy but pillows were excellent. Laundry on site at $4 for wash and $4 for dryer was very convenient. Walking distance to everything. Free wifi worked great."
"Warm and cozy, walls are a little thin we unfortunately had neighbors "pillow fighting" next door all night but otherwise good showers and comfy beds"
"Great place to stay. Quiet! The desk manager had closed for the night and so we had to ring and she was more than happy to quickly check us in, get everything sorted and was exceeding friendly and accommodating. No complaints! Price was also excellent."
"Cute little room - a little small but that was to be expected. Bathrooms and room were clean, and there was a sauna and laundry facilities too. Loved our stay here!"
