Tourist Information About Glacier Country

Attractions in Glacier Country include some of the most extraordinary natural sights in New Zealand. The Franz Josef Glacier stands out as a rare glacier that descends into temperate rainforest, and visitors can reach a viewing platform with a short walk on the Glacier Valley Trail. Nearby, Fox Glacier offers stunning views and trails that let you experience the glacier’s icy face up close. 

Lake Matheson is famous for its crystal-clear reflections of the towering peaks of Aoraki/Mt Cook and Mt Tasman, making it a favourite spot for photographers. Gillespies Beach provides sweeping views of the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea, perfect for a peaceful sunset walk. The Glowworm Terrace Walk lights up at night with tiny glowing insects, creating a magical atmosphere. History buffs will appreciate the Tatare Tunnels and Callery Gorge Walks, where old mining relics peek through native bush. Finally, the Glacier Hot Pools invite visitors to soak in warm waters surrounded by rainforest, offering a relaxing end to a day of exploring.
