About Us
Franz Josef wilderness Tours is a locally owned and operated family run business on the South Island’s West Coast. Customer service excellence, and delivering a quality experience is at the heart of each tour. Bronwyn and Dale built Franz Josef wilderness Tours (formerly Glacier Country Kayaks & Glacier Country Lake Tours) up to the well- recognized business it is today! Bronwyn, originally from Canada, has been kayaking for many years including multi-week trips around Vancouver Island. Dale has been an outdoor guide for over 15 years with 6 years spent as a Glacier Guide for the Franz Josef Glacier Guides, and a few seasons spent kayak guiding in Canada. Dale has spent his life as an outdoorsman in New Zealand, and is a qualified Maritime NZ Skipper. He is one of our lead guides and you might find him paddling, fishing or cruising on the water most days.
