Heli-flyvningen (desværre meget kort) var fantastisk. Guiden var sjov og venlig. Men vi tilbragte det meste af tiden i et lille område af gletsjeren - kun i 700 meters højde - med masser af snak og krydsning af ishuller igen og igen. Vi havde forventet mere isvandring, vandring og at se mere af gletsjeren, herunder den øverste del. Forholdet mellem pris og ydelse var ikke, hvad vi havde forventet. I burde tilbyde flere muligheder for folk, der er vant til bjerge og har erfaring. I det mindste bør du informere bedre om tingene på forhånd.

An amazing trip. The company has twin objectives of safety and providing an experience to stay with you for a lifetime. We’re an older couple and coped well. Stretch was a great guide - and very tall! The company offers a no questions asked if you arrive and realise there is a chance of not being able to be airlifted from the glacier that day. Bear in mind that this trip is weather dependent. Play it safe and spend an extra night in either Fox or Franz Josef townships.

The guides are the best at Fox Glacier Guiding, we went with Toa and had a great time! He made sure that everyone in the group (12 ppl) had enough time to see, stop, and explore on the glacier. He was super informative, funny, and made sure to keep us safe. Would recommend to everyone!

Fox Glacier adventure

Nature’s own art gallery

Don your provided gear, from leather boots and crampons to waterproof jackets, pick up your walking poles, and set off to explore. Guided by an expert well-versed in the glacier's ever-changing moods, traverse the icy terrain with a small group of up to 11 people. As you hike, marvel at the glacier's unique features, such as spectacular ice caves and arches, shaped by nature's forces. The rapid movement of the glacier often results in the formation of fascinating ice structures. Your journey concludes with a helicopter ride back, offering one last chance to soak in the resplendent views.
