Hello! We are honeymooning in NZ this coming February and plan to do the Franz Josef Glacier Heli Hike during our trip! I’d love to know about typical weather conditions, skill/fitness level required to enjoy the hike, and if there’s any truth to the strong sulfur smells during the tour! Much appreciated, Sharon
A:
Congratulations Sharon! You'll love it. Average health required - not stressful. No sulphur smells (not geothermal - glacial). Rotorua is the 'smelly' one, but well worth the visit too. Enjoy!!
