    Den mest fantastiska upplevelsen! Vår guide Connor var en absolut LEGEND - informativ, personlig och arbetade så hårt för att ge oss den bästa möjliga tiden. Skulle starkt rekommendera detta till andra.

    Heliflygningen (tyvärr mycket kort) var fantastisk. Guiden var rolig och vänlig. Men vi tillbringade större delen av tiden i ett litet område av glaciären - bara på 700 meters höjd - mycket prat och att korsa ishål om och om igen. Vi förväntade oss mer isvandring, vandring och att se mer av glaciären inklusive den övre delen. Pris - prestationsförhållandet var inte vad vi förväntade oss. Du bör erbjuda fler alternativ för människor som är vana vid berg och har erfarenhet. Åtminstone bör du bättre informera, om sakerna i förväg.

  • 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.
