New Zealand: Best Places to Visit
Westlands National Park
Driving the west coast of the South Island is highly recommended. You will pass through rainforest and then find yourself exploring active glaciers. The scenery is spectacular. The driving can be challenging but is well worth the effort.

See either the Fox Glacier or Franz Joseph Glacier (or both).  Both Glaciers come close to the road and it is only a short hike to see the terminus of each glacier. These two glaciers are the most visited attractions in the Westland NP.
