Rainforest Backpackers

Come and stay at Rainforest Backpackers, it’s not just accommodation… it’s an experience!

Rainforest Backpackers is Franz Josef’s newest backpackers and hostel lodge. Centrally located in the heart of Franz Josef Glacier Village on the West Coast of New Zealand, Rainforest Backpackers is the perfect base to get busy on The Glacier or just chill.

Comprising an extensive range of facilities including a 20-person spa pool, sauna and Monsoon Bar & Restaurant on site, you’ll never have to leave! But if you do, we’re only footsteps from the township’s shops, service station, tour and sightseeing services, coach stops and cafes.

Rainforest Backpackers also plays host to Kiwi Experience, Stray and Contiki so there’s never short of interesting fellow backpackers to unwind and get socializing with.

Surround yourself with the sights and sounds of the rainforest whilst exploring Franz Josef Glacier.  Come and stay at Rainforest Retreat, it’s not just accommodation… it’s an experience!
