Fox Glacier nature walk

5.00A lovely walk with plants etc being pointed out that we would have missed. Great view of the glacier
Do it with a guide

5.00It would be very simple to drive to fix glacier and walk the main path to see the glacier and the site of the avalanche. But it is a much better experience to do it with a guide (in fact a masters botany student) and learn about the history of the glacier and its surrounding countryside. The off the main track experience while more demanding was special and we learnt so much about the local flora and fauna. A special experience that we will not forget.
Cliff was a great guide, highly recommend!

5.00We did the Twin Glacier tour (Franz Josef and Fox Glacier) with our guide Cliff. Cliff was a fantastic guide who was able to take us off the beaten track and on routes not open to general public. A great trip and highly recommend!

5.00What a magical experience to be led by Cliff through the natural areas of Fox Glacier and Matheson Lake. Cliff shared his expertise and knowledge of native plants, birds and fungi. We loved the rain forest ferns, trees and mosses. While it rained, we delighted in our journey.
Fantastic experience!...

5.00My husband and I had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide was a botanist grad student who told us about the glacier, the 2019 landslide, rocks, plants and even some bugs. We were privileged to go on a day where we had a full view of the glacier. Because we were a small group we were able to do some exploring on the rocks in the landslide area. I highly recommend this tour. It is a memorable experience, not just a hike to see the glacier.
Fun experience.

5.00We both really enjoyed this trip out. Our guide Louis was extremely knowledgable about the plant life we encountered and friendly and considerate to the group's needs. The walk was just the right length and the stop at the Glacier viewpoint was timed really well with a nice hot drink and a biscuit offered.
Great hike to Fox Glacier

5.00We had a fantastic guided hike to Fox Glacier with Louis today. It was a small group of 10 and was absolutely great. We learnt a lot about the flora and fauna and had super views of the glacier. The hike itself was not too difficult and I would say it was suitable even for people not used to walking distances as it was mainly flat with a tiny amount of scrambling over small rocks and trees. I would heartily recommend this tour and tour company.
Bella was great!

5.00It goes rain or shine and our guide Bella was a trooper to take us in a down pour the entire time! Just know that you can’t get near the glacier.
