ALL DAY FOX GLACIER WALK
This is the walk for adventurous people who are reasonably fit and agile
and wish to have a full day exploring the fascinating features of the glacier.
Groups are kept small.
You approach the glacier using the same "secret" track that is used by the
Half-day walkers. Outfitted with crampons, specially designed by Fox
Guides for Fox Glacier ice conditions, and travelling on ice steps freshly cut by
your guide, you are able to journey on the glacier until confronted by the
majestic pinnacles of the lower icefall where the glacier is moving up to
two metres a day.
There is always something new to discover in the ever-changing world of
ice on this un-crowded glacier. Relax over your lunch "glacier style". A
very memorable day out.
