-- About this video --
Today we join Fox Glacier Guiding for a heli-hike onto the Fox Glacier. Yes, there is another glacier on the New Zealand West Coast other than the Franz Josef Glacier and as we are about to find out, exploring the Fox Glacier is an awesome New Zealand adventure.
After gearing up with Fox Glacier Guiding for our Fox Glacier helicopter flight, we fly over the stunning Fox Glacier Valley and land on top of the glacier itself. Here, we watch the helicopter fly away then meet our two guides who are going to be taking us around this magnificent New Zealand glacier.
After putting on some crampons we follow our guides around this incredible landscape. We are the only ones of the glacier so it’s a real personal experience. We see waterfalls, learn about the glacier, step over crevasses and, our favourite, we crawl through ice cave after ice cave.
There are so many ice caves on the Fox Glacier which makes it a true glacier exploration tour. We have a blast the whole way around this Fox Glacier Tour.
After landing back in the Fox Glacier township, we treat ourselves to a beer.
So what do you think of heli-hiking on Fox Glacier? Is this a New Zealand glacier activity you would add to your New Zealand bucket list?

Super cool video guys! We are currently in Wellington and will definitely be doing this after watching your video. Your channel is awesome! I can't believe it has not blown up just yet. Keep it up!!!
The Fox Glacier is really awesome - so many caves! And thanks for your kind words, Christian :) We're just stoked to be making videos at the moment. What have you guys been up to in Wellington?
Even though the price for a heli-hike seems a little steep we'll definitely be visiting both from a distance.
It is truly a unique experience! When are you guys heading there?
@@NZPocketGuide mid september. You guys are really my greatest source of information. Great entertaining playlist you got there.
Thanks for the kind words :) it means a lot :))))))
Comparing Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier which one is worth going if I only able to afford 1 Heli- Hike?
Haha that's a hard one, Laura did prefer Franz Josef glacier because it was soooo big and impressive but Robin did prefer Fox Glacier because we saw more ice cave and there was less people. Which one do you lean more toward to Sasiko?
From you videos, I would prefer the colour and scenery over Fox than Franz Josef, because of the turquoise-ish colour of the glacier!
Nice one! Robin is stoked that you agree with him haha!
Don't walk on this glacier without crampons. When we went many years ago it is true, my husband who is a GP had to deal with one broken ankle and a dislocated shoulder. To make matters worse, there was a serious road slip and we were cut off for four days while the road was repaired. This was not funny as Miles was the only doc, he did not have his medical bag as he was on holiday and was not amused. No helicopters at that time. Very slippery.
Oh man, that sound rough! You can only access this glacier now with guides and via a helicopter. (You can't walk onto it anymore). They have all the equipment to keep you safe including crampons :)
What month?
The tour runs all year round from what we know :)
