“My partner booked this as a surprise for our trip and it was epic. Helicopter views were jaw-dropping and hiking on the glacier felt like being on another planet. Photos don’t do it justice.”

“One of those once-in-a-lifetime things. Helicopter ride up was short but incredible, and then walking on the glacier itself just felt surreal.”

“I’d been saving up for this one and it didn’t disappoint. The gear they give you makes it feel super safe and stable, even if you’ve never done anything like this before. Honestly, I’d do it again just for the flight alone. Highly recommend if you want something totally different from the usual hikes.”

“Honestly, this was one of the most surreal things I’ve ever done. We hiked for a couple hours with a great guide who explained everything really clearly and safely. It’s expensive, but for something this unique, I’d say totally worth it.”

“This can only be described as an amazing experience. It helped that the weather was perfect, but also that Fox Glacier Guiding were well organised, from check-in to finish. All the staff were very professional, safety conscious and thorough. The experience was seamlessly organised. And a big shout out to our guide Tao who was amazing and incredibly patient. He made our experience even better”

“This was my first time on a glacier, and the heli hike didn’t disappoint. The scenery was incredible, and the guides made sure we had the right gear and felt secure. Booking was straightforward, and the chance to walk through ice caves was something I’ll remember forever.”
