We had an incredible experience with Fox Glacier Guiding on our Heli Hike! We were lucky to have a bluebird day with stunning views from the helicopter flight through the valley up to the Glacier where we got to spend about 3 hours on the ice. The guides were all lovely and made the experience safe and fun! We got to slide and crawl through tunnels, explore crevasses and visit some beautiful blue pools. Just being on the ice and seeing the different formations up close was amazing. Thanks so much to Fox Glacier Guiding, would 100% recommend this adventure!

There are 2 options: self-guided or a VIP backstage guided tour. We chose the former as it allows 48 hour access and seemed sufficient. Currently there are two kiwi birds at the facility. Excellent and informative displays. The Centre also includes information on glacial ice and how it forms. Definitely a worthwhile experience!

Very nice walk around the lake. It’ll cost you about 1,5 hours in total. And if you’re lucky you can make the perfect reflection picture. I was not 😅 But still enjoyed this walk very much. The path is just wonderful.

The best way to see the glaciers is from above but the snow landing is the icing on the cake. We happened to be the first to land on Fox that day so the snow was pristine. Pilot and staff were very professional and would highly recommend.

It's hard to put my experience with Skydive Fox Glacier into words, but I have a lot of them so will share. It was honestly the most exhilarating, beautiful and mind-blowing experience of my life - and I could not recommend it more highly. This has been ranked as the second most scenic skydive IN THE WORLD, second only to Mt Everest haha! Once you're up in the plane admiring the view, you'll understand why. That said, one of our tandem instructors said he's jumped Everest few times and he actually prefers Fox - because you start at sea level here, you get to fly higher. Obviously Everest starts at a much higher altitude, which restricts the height at which you can jump from. That makes this (arguably) the best skydive in the world!!! Everything was perfect from go to woe, but I'll break down in detail... Starting with the booking process - I booked two skidives, one for me and one for my fiancé Ben, online. Communication with Sarah (who I later learned is one of the pilots!) was great from the get-go, and the website was easy to use. I actually changed my skydive day from Wednesday to Thursday about a week out, and this request was accommodated without complaint. On the day of our jump, we were picked up by the Fox Glacier Skydive bus outside out accommodation in Franz Josef right on time. Our driver (and owner of the company) told us that we were about to embark on the most dangerous part of the day: driving from Franz Josef to Fox Glacier haha! An absolute skydiving expert, he provided some great insight on the drive. I was very reassured to learn that the owner of Fox Glacier Skydive actually heads up the board foe skydiving safety across NZ!! Rest assured you're in the safest possible hands jumping with these guys. Once we arrived at the drop zone, we were giving a safety briefing and given the opportunity to purchase photo/video options. I would highly recommend the combo package! The photos and video you get are extremely high quality and a perfect way to remember your day. The only slight downer on my day was the guy who was working reception when we arrived. I later learned he's also a pilot for the company, so maybe he was just upset to be on desk duty? He seemed extremely grumpy and like my questions were frustrating him. I will say he cheered up once the morning 'rush' checking everyone in was over. The jump itself was PHENOMENAL!! We jumped from 13,000 feet, and the view from up there was honestly insane. We could see snowcapped mountains (in April, no less), Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, Fox Glacier river coming down through the rainforest and into the farmland, and then out into the ocean. Simply stunning. My tandem buddy Nico was fantastic. I was quite nervous but he set my mind at ease, making it an extremely enjoyable experience. He even landed me ON MY FEET!! I got into the brace position but then as we came in to land he was like "Actually, just stand up," and I landed firmly on two feet. Incredible. I cannot thank him enough. Nico also produced an awesome video for me to remember the day with!! Sorry for the long review, but I really want the world to know how great these guys are. We were blown away and could not provide a higher recommendation if we tried. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Therese went above and beyond ( even loaned me a pair of sunglasses when I forgot mine) to ensure that we were well prepared for our deluxe 40 minute flight to Fox/ Franz Josef Glaciers and Mt Cook / Mt Tasman with a stop on the ice. James was a most professional pilot with a lovely manner and happily took photos for us. This was a truly unforgettable experience. I loved every minute of it. Thanks to this amazing local team.

It’s a wide trail for half of the distance, then it gets a bit narrow and steep on the second half. The tunnel was interesting with water flowing about ankle high. Quite worth the time. The tunnel is about 100 m long, and it’s a dead end with glow worm at the very end of it. Kids above 4 yrs old is accessible

Great, easy walk. Good views of Fox Glacier. We took the south trail.

A lovely little shop filled with quality gifts and trinkets. Really good if you wanted to get a good quality item that is carefully crafted.

Park at the Franz J car park, direct path walk past the lake! Absolutely worth it even on bad weather! We were in rain clouds up there and could not see the glacier but the hike it self is challenging, beautiful, many bridges, steep limestone paths with moth forrest and many water falls. Be in good shape with good legs, plenty water and some snacks with.

A short walk up to and well worth it. A sneak look at the glacier and wonderful reflections in the kettle lake.

A great option for a wet or dry day. Amazing footage of the incredible places and things around here.
