Heli Hiking Fox Glacier
This unrivalled experience combines an exhilarating helicopter flight with the thrill of exploring the gleaming icy sculptures and caves of this spectacular glacier that would otherwise be virtually inaccessible.
This fly-in, fly-out helihike combines the excitement of walking on the Fox Glacier itself with the thrill of a helicopter flight and promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Equipped with leather boots and other equipment, board the helicopter for your first flight over the pinnacles of the Fox Glacier's lower icefall where the ice is in constant motion.
You will find yourself circling the upper icefall and Victoria Falls then landing on a remote and exceptionally beautiful part of the glacier.
At this stage, participants are fitted with crampons to follow the ice steps cut by the guide and explore amazing formations and ice caves before re-boarding the helicopter and returning to the village.
Tour concludes at approximately 1:00pm or 4:00pm, back at departure location.
