    Cea mai uimitoare experiență! Ghidul nostru Connor a fost o LEGENDĂ absolută - informativ, personal și a lucrat atât de mult pentru a ne oferi cel mai bun timp posibil. Ar recomanda foarte mult acest lucru altora.

    Zborul cu elicopterul (din păcate foarte scurt) a fost fantastic. Ghidul a fost amuzant și prietenos. Dar am petrecut cea mai mare parte a timpului în zona mică a ghețarului - doar la o altitudine de 700 m - o mulțime de discuții și traversarea găurilor de gheață din nou și din nou. Ne așteptam la mai multe plimbări pe gheață, drumeții și să vedem mai mult din ghețar, inclusiv partea superioară. Raportul preț - performanță nu a fost ceea ce ne așteptam. Ar trebui să oferiți mai multe opțiuni pentru oamenii care sunt obișnuiți cu munții și au experiență. Cel puțin ar trebui să informați mai bine, despre lucrurile în avans.

  • 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.
