Enjoy a breathtaking guided trip on the West Coast’s longest and most accessible glacier. We have a very long and proud guiding history ensuring safety by training our guides through the internationally recognised New Zealand Mountain Guides Association. When making your way through this incredible world of ice enjoy the educational interpretation our guides impart. We have trips designed to suit all fitness levels and currently we are the only West Coast glacier that has access onto the ice by foot or helicopter giving clients more options.

"My husband and I went to NZ on a two week honeymoon. The cherry was definitely the glacier hike at Fox Glacier. We had initially signed up for a helihike at Franz Josef but due to bad weather it got cancellled. This wasn't a bad thing at all as we got to hike up the Fox Glacier in Rainy weather, wit..."h all the waterfalls and streams full. Our guide Tyler at Fox Gacier Guides was so animated and absolute fun, the hike is not that difficult, and the absolute pleasure of climbing up an icy river was super thrilling. The glacier is very dynamic and the ice formations are constantly changing. Even in the 2 hour glacier hike you can see crevasses, blue ice, tunnels that go on forever and we were lucky to see a big ice cave too. Great fun and highly recommended especially on a bad weather day when all the helihikes are cancelled!

"We opted for Fox only because we couldn't take a heli hike on Franz Josef due to bad weather.. but what an excellent choice it was! The guide Tyler was super animated and lots of fun, the equipment and crampons excellent, a throughly enjoyable rainy hike up the glacier!"
