We lived in Fox Town that day, the town was not big, walked for 6 minutes and drove for 2 minutes. Helicopter reports have large parking lots everywhere, convenient, half an hour in advance, staff safety explanation, and then drive to the helicopter airport, about 10 minutes drive, convenient and fast

[View] Amazing flight and snowfall landing. The weather was insignificant and we had very little time but managed to make it never forget to fly!! [Fun] spent two days and two nights in FJ. A lovely town. Lots of places to eat. Whether Roberts Railway (Roders Track) made other reviews for the 4 square meters small shop is really good, sandwiches and pies are good. I did notice that all the trees on the main road are covered with lots of vines. So sad. Unfortunately it can't be sorted. But in short, you have to visit the destination.
As the climate warms up, Fox Glacier continues to shrink to the mountains, and now unless it is participating in higher-level ice climbing, walking in the valley can no longer have a better view, so it is better to take a helicopter tour. The airport is not far west of Fox Town, and each helicopter can take4-6 people. If you take off in the early morning, you have the opportunity to see the beautiful sea of clouds and sunrise. The glaciers pour down the valley, which is very spectacular, and the helicopters will land on the glaciers, which is also a unique project in New Zealand, and must be cherished, and it may be banned in the future. Since the flight will not change special equipment, you should pay attention to keep warm and non-slip on the mountain.
Fox Ice is New Zealand's most famous ice river, and taking a helicopter ride to see the magnificent ice from high altitude is the best option. The helicopter tour takes about an hour to view the glacier's trenches and even ice caves from high altitudes, lamenting the beauty of the Fox glacier and the magic of nature.
It was an unforgettable trip to the Fox Glacier by helicopter. The plane flies along the glacier wall and stops at the top of the glacier for five minutes, giving you a chance to get in touch with the glacier. It feels great.
