Gillespies Beach (Fox Glacier NZ)

Was a trek to get to it but so worth it, massive waves crashing in on one side and snowy mountains on the other :)

Fox glacier - Gillespies beach drive

Take ride from Fox Glacier to Gillespies beach through westcoast bush. This road was used for logging and to access gold dredge on the beach. 12 kms of winding road with blind corners where most of the tourists and campervans ignore all rules...

Fox Glacier - Chancellor Dome Heli Trek - Fox Glacier Guiding 2018

This has to be one of New Zealand’s finest days in the mountains.

It starts with a thrilling flight by helicopter, over magnificent rainforest and ice pinnacles, into the valley of the Fox Glacier. Your helipad is at 1,270 metres (4,000 feet) on Chancellor Shelf, just above historic Chancellor Hut. In season, this area is rich in flowering alpine plants and the mountain antelope, Chamois, can frequently be seen.

From Chancellor Hut, the route ascends through snowgrass basins to a spot where a glorious view of Mt Tasman appears. Here your guide will organise you for a safe ascent of the gully. This gully gives access to a broad ridge and a beautiful snow shelf below the summit of Chancellor Dome. A highlight is the final ascent to the summit at 2,004 metres (6,526 feet). This climb, takes you to the point that affords the best view of the Southern Alps highest peaks and the magnificent snowfields that feed the Fox Glacier. To the west, you see the surf of the Tasman Sea breaking on Gillespies Beach.

After a relaxing lunch you descend to the hut, and fly down the glacier back to Fox Glacier township. As an introduction to mountaineering this trip cannot be surpassed.

Please note: This is a mountain trip with helicopter access, not a helihike on the glacier and is weather dependant.

Today we are leaving the Fox Glacier area on the West Coast of New Zealand but not without checking out the Fox Glacier Terminal Face.

This is a free way to see the New Zealand glaciers, and it's only a 30-minute drive from the Franz Josef Glacier. So we drive up the Fox Glacier Valley to the start of the Fox Glacier Valley Walk.

The Fox Glacier walk is about 40 minutes one way down the every-changing glacier valley. It follows the Fox River then along a valley side until it reaches a viewpoint overlooking the Fox Glacier Terminal Face along with waterfalls.

After our Fox Glacier hike, we return the same way and continue our journey down the West Coast stopping at Hunts Beach along the way to try and find greenstone. Then we arrive at our final destination in Haast.

So what do you think of the free Fox Glacier Valley Walk? Is this a New Zealand Walk you would add to your must-do list? Let us know!

FOX GLACIER - New Zealand Heli Hike 2017 // Day 8

Heather & Joe Hodnicki 2 Honeymooners from New Jersey, USA spent 16 full days traveling the breathtaking North & South Islands of New Zealand! This is one of their many epic adventures. Fox Glacier, Held Hike. 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.

Equipped with leather walking boots and other equipment, you board the helicopter for your first flight over the pinnacles of the lower icefall. Here, the ice is in constant motion.

Your landing site on the ice is a remote and exceptionally beautiful part of the glacier at approximately 800 metres above sea level. You will see the stunning Victoria Falls, which is the melt river from the hidden Victoria glacier. At this stage, your guide outfits you with crampons, specially designed for these ice conditions and you follow the ice steps cut by your guide as you explore the amazing formations.

Each departure is a true voyage of exploration. There are so many changing features that the guides always find something new. Weather permitting, ice time is up to 3 hours.
