  An amazing day. The team at Fox Glacier Guiding was professional, safe, educational and a whole lot of fun. A fantastic day exploring the Fox Glacier. Highly recommended

• 5An incredible experience

  Our day was touch and go due to the weather however a small window was found and we made the most of it. What an unforgettable experience on the glacier. I last visited here 40 years ago and nowadays doing a tour like this is the only way to get near fox glacier. It is well worth it too. A day my family and I won’t forget. Ryan was an excellent guide who made me (who was a bit nervous) feel very calm. The entire operation functions like a well oiled machine. Highly recommend doing this. You’ll remember it forever.

• 5Fox Glacier Heli- Hike

  Great experience! The helicopter ride was short but beautiful and the staff has the whole thing down like a well-oiled machine. The glacier was absolutely stunning and our guide Jake cut steps for us and came up with the most interesting yet safe route for our trip. He explained that the route can change daily based on new features and ice safety. He was personable, knowledgeable, and very experienced and made it an unforgettable experience. We had a beautiful clear day after a night of heavy rain and felt very fortunate about the great visibility. We all got pretty warm after the climbing on the ice and shed layers

• 1To expensive / Watch Group

  I booked the Fox Glacier Heli Hike on short notice because of the excellent reviews and because I really wanted to experience the glacier. While the operation is well organized, I underestimated how heavily commercialized the whole experience is. The constant helicopter traffic and the large number of visitors take away much of the natural atmosphere. Our group was relatively large, and many participants ignored the guides’ instructions, including the assigned helicopter seating for both the outbound and return flights. Unfortunately, the guide had little control over the group, which made the experience less enjoyable. The helicopter flight itself lasted less than a minute, making the overall experience feel very expensive for what was actually provided. When I tried to discuss my concerns afterwards, the staff were polite but clearly not interested in addressing them. Overall, this was not worth the high price for me, and I would not book it again.

• 5Must do activity

  This experience has to be one of the best. It’s more than amazing. The guides are experienced and offer a wealth of knowledge. I did the heli hike 2.5 hrs and it was more than worth it. The helicopter ride alone is worth it. Moderate fitness is required. If you are unsure about this trip don’t be and book it you won’t regret it.

About Franz Josef & Fox Glacier

Franz Josef and Fox are two glaciers on New Zealand's West Coast that flow from the Southern Alps almost into temperate rainforest.

The Franz Josef and Fox glaciers descend from the Southern Alps through steep valleys into lowland rainforest on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, ending only a few hundred metres above sea level. The two small townships, about twenty-five kilometres apart, sit in Westland Tai Poutini National Park, part of a UNESCO World Heritage area. Julius von Haast named Franz Josef in 1865 after the Austrian emperor.
