Franz Josef Glacier Heli Hike | Fox Glacier, New Zealand | Wild Kiwi
Ticking off a massive New Zealand bucket list moment - the Franz Josef Glacier Heli Hike. We took a helicopter to the base of Fox Glacier and hiked through the ice, climbing through ice caves and squeezing our way through cracks in the ice. Such an incredible day!
We also jumped onto to quad bikes and drove through rainforest, mud and glacier fed waters - what a day!

Fox Glacier Heli-Hike - New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand

-- About this video --
Today we join Fox Glacier Guiding for a heli-hike onto the Fox Glacier. Yes, there is another glacier on the New Zealand West Coast other than the Franz Josef Glacier and as we are about to find out, exploring the Fox Glacier is an awesome New Zealand adventure.
After gearing up with Fox Glacier Guiding for our Fox Glacier helicopter flight, we fly over the stunning Fox Glacier Valley and land on top of the glacier itself. Here, we watch the helicopter fly away then meet our two guides who are going to be taking us around this magnificent New Zealand glacier.
After putting on some crampons we follow our guides around this incredible landscape. We are the only ones of the glacier so it’s a real personal experience. We see waterfalls, learn about the glacier, step over crevasses and, our favourite, we crawl through ice cave after ice cave.
There are so many ice caves on the Fox Glacier which makes it a true glacier exploration tour. We have a blast the whole way around this Fox Glacier Tour.
After landing back in the Fox Glacier township, we treat ourselves to a beer.
So what do you think of heli-hiking on Fox Glacier? Is this a New Zealand glacier activity you would add to your New Zealand bucket list?

We had to stop by the Glaciers and take a helicopter ride to see the magnificent views. We are so happy we decided to do this activity, especially because sadly the glaciers are melting and soon they might be gone.

Heli Hike @ Fox Glacier, New Zealand
Fox Glacier is a glacier located in the West Coast region of South Island in New Zealand. It was named after the former New Zealand Prime Minister, Sir William Fox, who visited the glacier in 1872. Fox Glacier starts at the Southern Alps, falls 2,600 metres (8,500 feet) over its 13 kilometre (8.1 mile) length, and ends near the coast in temperate rainforest 250 to 300 metres (820 to 984 feet) above sea level.

Helicopter ride over Fox Glacier, Franz Josef Glacier and Mount Cook. New Zealand, February 2012
We took a helicopter ride over Fox Glacier and Josef Glacier. The helicopter stopped on top of Josef Glacier. Mount Cook was viewable from the top (slightly behind the clouds). I captured the flight from the top of Josef Glacier going down into it (starts 1.07minutes into it). It is about 7.5 miles long. Fox Glacier is about 12 miles long.

Best day of our lives :) 40 minute helicopter flight around Mt Cook & Mt Tasman and Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers - landing at the top of Fox. Sorry for the shaky video and distracting stabilising - best I could do without HD or a steadycam ;) Pilot was awesome -
