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.
