Fox Glacier Half Day Guided Walk:
This popular round trip tour provides stunning vistas and a fantastic opportunity to marvel at the features of the lower glacier. Let our guides impress you with their knowledge of glaciology, geology and botany. Via our secret track, the tour takes you through native rainforest, regenerating from past glacial advances, to the incredible frozen world of Fox Glacier. This does involve 45 minutes uphill steady climbing. Duration: 3hrs 30mins to 4 hours.

Fox Glacier Heli Hike:
This premier trip combines the thrill of two scenic helicopter flights and the chance to investigate a remote part of the Fox Glacier on foot. In this section of the glacier, shunted between two icefalls, glacial forces are greatest, often resulting in the creation of spectacular ice caves and arches. This trip offers exceptional photographic opportunities. Duration: 3 Hours.

Chancellor Dome Heli Trek:
An exceptional trip that combines helicopter flights into and out of historic Chancellor Hut and an exciting climb of Chancellor Dome. Enjoy being amidst some of New Zealand's most dramatic mountain scenery with spectacular views that encompass the highest peaks in the Southern Alps and wet to the Tasman Sea. Enjoy discovering glorious herb fields and native flowers in season. Duration: 8 hours. Reasonable fitness and agility is required.
Fox Glacier All Day Guided Walk:
Via the same secret track as used by our half day walkers, the day trippers travel up freshly cut ice steps until confronted by the majestic pinnacles of the lower icefall. There is always something new to discover in the ever changing world of ice. Duration: 6 to 7 hours. A good level of fitness and agility is required.

Mt. Cook and Fox Glacier Heli Flight:
Fly all the way around Mt Cook & Mt Tasman, and explore the Fox Glacier or Franz Josef Glacier. A snow landing is an option at no extra charge on this flight, weather permitting. Duration: 30 minutes.
