Exchange Rates
The exchange rates published are the “Buy TT” rates from our bank (Westpac NZ), as these are the relevant rates for buying a foreign currency. Note that there is a discrepancy between this rate and the “Sell TT” rate, which is often mistakenly quoted by some agents.
This rate is valid for a period of 7 days from the time the invoice is sent out.
Please Note: There is small incremental buffer included to counter any fluctuations within the time period before payment is made.
Franz Josef - Glacier Valley Walk
Franz Josef - Glacier Valley Walk
Franz Josef Glacier Guides who operate the Glacier Valley Walk have been advised by the Department of Conversation that road access for the Glacier Valley Walk will be restored in about 6 to 7 weeks. As a result, the Glacier Valley Walk will resume operation on July 1st 2019 (or earlier) subject to road access. If this date changes, we will provide an update accordingly.
During this period, Franz Josef Glacier Guides will be operating an extended full-day walk to access the Franz Josef Glacier Valley. More details on this walk to follow in the coming week but Franz Josef Glacier Guides are anticipating it to be about 8 hours in duration.
The Franz Josef Heli Hike and Franz Josef Glacier Hot Pools remain fully operational as normal.
