    Den mest fantastiske oplevelse! Vores guide Connor var en absolut LEGENDE - informativ, personlig og arbejdede så hårdt for at give os den bedst mulige tid. Vil varmt anbefale dette til andre.

    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.

  • Fox Glacier adventure

    Ready for a mountain adventure? Hop on your helicopter ride, ready to take you above New Zealand's largest and fastest-moving glacier: Fox Glacier. As you fly over this icy wonderland, marvel at the glacier's unique position, ending in a lush rainforest, a rare global phenomenon.

    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.
