A guided walk lasting roughly 3 hours, inclusive of breaks, takes place in the Fox Glacier Valley. The package includes transportation from Franz Josef and Fox Glacier towns, an afternoon tea, wet weather clothing, umbrellas, and support sticks for walking.

The route passes through a green and vibrant historic glacier-carved rainforest in Westland Tai Poutini National Park, showcasing enormous rata, rimu trees, moss, and vistas of the upper Fox Glacier (not the terminal face), Fox neve, and Mt Tasman, one of the tallest mountains in New Zealand.

Your knowledgeable guide will provide details about glaciation, geothermology (including a geothermal spring for a quick hand dip), geology, and the local flora and fauna.

The tour’s intensity is beginner-friendly, and cater to individuals of varying age groups and walking capabilities.

Kindly note that this tour doesn’t approach or offer views of the glacier’s terminal face due to safety concerns. This is an eco-tour - if you wish to see the glacier’s terminal face up-close, consider our Franz Josef Eco Tour.
