    Den mest fantastiske opplevelsen! Vår guide Connor var en absolutt LEGENDE - informativ, personlig og jobbet så hardt for å gi oss den beste tiden som mulig. Vil anbefale dette på det sterkeste til andre.

    Heli-flyvningen (dessverre veldig kort) var fantastisk. Guiden var morsom og vennlig. Men vi tilbrakte mesteparten av tiden i et lite område av breen - bare på en høyde av 700 m - mange samtaler og kryssing av ishull igjen og igjen. Vi forventet mer isvandring, fotturer og å se mer av breen, inkludert den øvre delen. Forholdet mellom pris og ytelse var ikke hva vi forventet. Du bør tilby flere alternativer for folk som er vant til fjell og har erfaring. I det minste 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.
