Survol du glacier Fox en hélicoptère

It was a very exciting experience, and our guide Will is very friendly, knowledgeable, made it a very fun trip for us.

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.

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.

The experience was perfect! The helicopter flight to the glacier was incredible, and the views were spectacular. Our guide, Charlie, was great. He was very friendly, helpful, and made the glacier hike really enjoyable. He even opened a path through the ice for us, which made the experience even more special. The whole team was also very kind and professional from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! Our instructor Flo was absolutely super in looking after us and taking us through the glacier climb.

The Heli-Hike on fox glacier was amazing, what an experience!! Tyana and Zeki were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guides!! All gear on the tour is provided: over trousers, jacket, gloves, socks, rucksack, boots and crampons. The whole morning was very well organised. Highly recommend to everyone!!

The Fox Glacier helicopter and hike was phenomenal. Being able to be on the glacier, learn about its changing features and how it came to be over the years was fascinating. The Fox Glacier crew fit you with all your kit so you are prepared, I'd recommend thermals for added comfort. The helicopter ride and safety procedures were straightforward and clear. Our guide Sam is a terrific guide and he made sure we got to have a variety of experiences on the glacier. Including watching him scale an ice wall in seconds and answer all our questions and in an English accent ! A dear friend of mine said - when you go to NZ, splurge and do a glacier hike, I did and now I can say - when you go to NZ if you can - splurge and do a glacier experience - it is incredible.

This was actually such an incredible and unique experience and worth every penny, would 100% recommend

The entire staff, from check in through the guided tour, was friendly and knowledgeable. Safety is always at the forefront of everything they do, while still providing an exceptional adventure. Jakey and Henry were our guides and there were only four (4) of us in the group. We couldn't have asked for more knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides; they were constantly looking our for our well-being, while sharing their love for the sport.

Fabulous experience with Fox Glacier. We were really impressed with our guide Jody who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and focused on safety. The chopper ride was awesome and our 3 hours on the glacier was a very enjoyable, unique experience.
