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!

-- About this video --
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.
