A superb guided journey from Wanaka to Franz Josef. The driver / guide (Jonathan) was amazing, providing an informative description of key sights as well as very safe driving habits. The weather was attrocious, but the journey still interesting and the stops worth doing. Lunch at The Hard Anchor in Haast was included. All of the others in the Group had joined in Queenstown.
