"I have had my eyes opened to the outdoors. I had never kayaked, mountain biked or even overnight hiked before. So to be able to do all this in one trip in such a safe and supportive environment was amazing."

Kym Stockman (Happy Valley, South Australia) February 2010 Rimu

Fox Glacier

Hiking on the Fox Glacier, New ZealandFox Glacier is located on the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand. At a latitude of 40 degrees south, there are no other glaciers as easily accessible as the Fox Glacier, and neighboring Franz Josef Glacier. Visitors to the region can hike up either of the glaciers for an unequalled view of the surrounding terrain.


One of the most accessible glaciers in New Zealand.

Fox Glacier travels for 13 kilometers from its source to the coast. During this time, its height falls a dramatic 2600 meters. The glacier is named after an early New Zealand prime minister, William Fox. The road to the glacier is a long stretch of grey terminal moraine, rocks and detritus left over from years of advancing and melting.
