Cần Quan Tâm

Spend up to 3 hours hiking on the Fox Glacier, The fly-in, fly-out heli hike combines the excitement of walking on the Te Moeka o Tuawe/Fox Glacier with the thrill of helicopter flights. By flying in you can access and explore a part of the glacier where its forces work hardest and often create spectacular ice caves and arches. You will be outfitted with boots and crampons specially designed for these ice conditions. You follow the ice steps cut by your guide as you explore the amazing formations. Please note that this is a natural and ever-changing environment. Ice features change constantly and no guarantee can be given that specific features will be seen. This is a weather dependent trip.

Fun trip

This was a fun trip to do. Keeley was our guide and looked after us really well. It’s just a short 4 minute helicopter ride to the glacier. It was fun to hike up it and into some caves - I imagine it’d be epic with more snowfall
Extremely well run...

Extremely well run organization that clearly takes safety as very important. Communication is very good and as long as you read what they send you, things will go smoothly. We did our tour in the summer (December 31st) and we didn’t need all the clothes they recommended we wear there. They provided a jacket (no insulation because of the weather, but if it were cold, they would give you an insulating layer. No need for cover pants but they provided if needed. They give you great socks, hiking boots, gloves, hat if needed, and crampons and hiking stick once on the mountain. Helicopter ride up to glacier is exhilarating and quick, not scary at all. Once on the glacier, your guide takes a small group (12 in our group) on a 3 hour hike across the glacier to see the various ice forms. Henry was our guide and he was fantastic ~ he explained what we should do and where to step, answered alll our questions about the glacier and NZ wildlife, and was super positive about everything. Note - walking on ice forms 3 hours might sound scary (I have an unnatural fear of slipping in general), but the crampons on your boots give so much traction that I didn’t have a single fear of slipping. It was extremely fun and the sights beautiful.
An amazing experience.

Fantastic! If like us you are thinking this is expensive and will it be worth it as you’ve skied the Rockies and the ALPs, done helis etc, it definitely is. The guide was professional, knowledgeable and chilled. You could do as much or as little of the challenging stuff as you wanted. And if you should be coming from the UK, bring Serena and the guides some Fox’s glacier mints-they’d never heard of them.
A must-do on your South Island trip

We visited with some family friends - all the staff were very friendly and despite some questionable weather we got up the mountain and had an amazing experience. Our guide Kate was really knowledgeable and great with the children.
The guide made the experience the best!

We enjoyed our experience! We loved riding up in the helicopter and seeing the glacier up and close. Our guide was passionate and friendly and she definitely loved her job. We wished the hike was longer! The pace was slow and so it seems like anyone could do it.

This is an amazing experience . Helicopter ride together with hiking at glacier . They provide all the equipment, clothes n shoes plus gloves . We did this is summer so only near to wear some merinos layers n perhaps another thick layer. Lovely experienced lady guide who waits for those who cannot keep up n she kelt shoveling to make sure u understand . Safety was explained well n taken seriously . Introduced us to the mountains , waterfalls , rocks etc. I do think u need to hv some stamina but nothing my 20 yr old cannot do. Do this if u r not doing sky diving . Really cool n unforgettable !!! Great team of experienced people !!

This was planned as an activity for my husband's 50th birthday, sadly the weather didn't play ball that day but we did manage to re book for the day after, so nearly just as good This trip was amazing Great communication from the company, as we had to rebook etc due to the weather I think you offer a fair refund price too if things don't go according to plan 👍 We had our full time on the ice and the weather was amazing Safety and briefings were reiterated and ensured everyone understood as it can be a dangerous environment Once up on the glacier Keeley was our guide. She was fantastic, great knowledge and really personable to everyone in our group. A day out to remember, and so glad we could rebook.
