About Your Glacier Expedition
Unforgettable Alpine Adventure
Start your day with a scenic helicopter ride offering panoramic views of New Zealand’s highest peaks and lush temperate rainforest. As you hover above Aoraki/Mt Cook and Mt Tasman, the raw beauty and contrast of snowy summits, deep crevasses and emerald valleys will set the scene for your journey.
Guided Glacier Exploration
Once you land high on Fox Glacier, your skilled guide will help you gear up with crampons and technical equipment. Safety is paramount and your guide will brief you before leading you onto the unique terrain of the glacier’s upper icefall. Here you’ll trek deep into the dramatic heart of Fox Glacier, weaving between sparkling blue crevasses and sculpted ice features. Depending on the glacier’s condition, you may have the chance to scale short ice pitches and discover hidden icy caves or runnels formed by seasonal changes.
Immersive Natural Sights
During your hike, learn about the rare ecosystem where glacier meets rainforest, a feature making Fox Glacier globally unique. You’ll be introduced to the phenomenon of glacier movement – a dynamic process meaning every trip here is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Ensure your camera is ready to capture not just wide glacier panoramas but also up-close details, from crystalline ice walls to the shifting patterns beneath your feet.
Comprehensive Support and Inclusions
All technical gear from crampons to climbing boots and waterproof jackets are provided. Light snacks and warm clothing are highly recommended to bring for comfort. Your expert guide ensures that your route is tailored to the group’s abilities and glacier safety conditions, making for an accessible yet exhilarating challenge for participants with good fitness.
Return to Fox Glacier Township
After up to 7 hours on the glacier, take in a last aerial view on your final helicopter flight back to Fox Glacier township. Ground transport is included, rounding out a seamlessly managed outdoor experience.
