Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers
Of the 140 glaciers flowing from the soaring peaks of New Zealand ' s Southern Alps , only the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers descend as far as the lower rainforests . This phenomenon makes access to these ancient glaciers possible . Guided glacier hikes , climbing experiences , heli-hikes and scenic flights are just some of the riveting attractions .
Kaikoura
Whale watching is one of the key attractions in Kaikoura , with species including humpback , pilot , southern right and blue whales . The beauty of the majestic whales matches that of the rugged landscape where the Seaward Kaikoura Range rises up almost directly out of the sea in places . Running parallel to the west is the Inland Kaikoura Range .
