Fox Glacier Heli Hike [FRNZ35]
Day Tour, Fox Glacier Heli Hike, Fox Glacier, New Zealand

The fly-in, fly-out helihike combines the excitement of walking on the Fox Glacier with the thrill of helicopter flights. By flying in you are able to access and explore a part of the glacier where its forces work hardest and often create spectacular ice caves and arches.

You board the helicopter for your first flight over the pinnacles of the lower icefall. Here, the ice is in constant motion. You then circle the upper icefall and Victoria Falls before landing.Your landing site on the ice is a remote and exceptionally beautiful part of the glacier. Follow the ice steps as you explore the amazing formations and ice caves which are only seen here.Each departure is a true voyage of exploration. There are so many changing features that the guides always find something new.
