My 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.

We 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.

We 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.

It 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.

Absolutely superb experience! Knowledgeable, passionate and personable guides took us through a landscape which we could not have appreciated without their expertise. We did both the Fox and Franz Josef glacier tours. The Fox Glacier is a longer walk on a public track, while the Franz Josef Glacier walk is easier (suitable for any fitness level) and includes sections that are not open to the public. The views of the glacier themselves are similar on both walks, and it is a great touch that they provide hot drinks and cookies while enjoying the scenery. We learnt so much about the biodiversity of the valley as well as the dynamics of the glacier (and its shocking rate of retreat.) This is a great alternative to a helihike, but also would help you to appreciate such a hike (so it isn’t necessarily an either/or). Being able to borrow coats, umbrellas, boots and hiking poles is also really helpful for our group, though you can easily do the walk in trainers. The owners were a great help in organising for our large group, and accommodating of last minute changes. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Some mix up with regard to pick up, but eventually had a great guided tour with Bella, who was charming & very knowledgeable, pointing out lots of trees, vegetation, birds, etc. She certainly knew her stuff! Nice small group, steady pace. Refreshments by the stream were very welcome!
