Booking was super-easy and all information sent to me was detailed with all necessary info. My bookings were seamless and the check-in process upon arrival was easy! One of our excursions had to be cancelled because of storm damage to the area, but the team contacted me well in advance to inform me of the situation and offered to book another activity or issue a full refund. Because of scheduling constraints, we opted for the refund and it was issued asap with zero complications. The staff members that contacted me were incredibly friendly and easy to work with - thanks Alicia and Sally!

We were informed that our trip has been canceled due to it's overbooked the day we check in right before the trip. Franz Josep Glacier Guide said it's IT system problem. We barely make it if there is no one didn't show up. Luckily we did have our trip eventually. Otherwise we'd waste our time driving from Fox glacier and back for nothing.

Activity was cancelled due to poor weather but we were not provided a full refund, infact i'm still chasing what little refund was available according to the activity group.
Product rating:
the refund policy was not provided prior to the event, though when the event was cancelled allm the staff were insisting that everyone had sufficient time to read the policy. No need to push shonky business tacktics to make an extra buck or two, it'll end up ruining your reputation.
Reply from Everything Travel Group
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and I'm sorry to hear that you weren't able to complete the Half Day Fox Glacier Walk due to unfavourable weather. I have been in touch with the company that operate the Fox Glacier walks and they have informed me that the walk was unfortunately turned around at the terminal face due to the weather conditions and that meant your group only completed the Terminal Face Walk instead. The difference in price between their Terminal Walk and Half Day Walk is $66 per person and this is the amount you are entitled too. It must have been frustrating not being able to complete the half day walk and sorry that you felt you did not have enough time to read the refund policy. As is the case with all cancellations by the activity provider, we have of course refunded your credit card the nominal amount. Thanks again for taking the time to provide your feedback. As a gesture of goodwill we would like to offer you a $50 gift voucher towards the cost of any other activities on our NZ or Australia websites. Please contact us to receive your gift voucher.

Heya, All hikes depart from Fox Glacier Guide base, situated on the main road of Fox Glacier. So you will need to make your own way there.
Hi,
I have never hiked before, can you advise if the heli hike is suitable for a beginner?
Comments
No previous hiking experience is necessary to partake in the Fox Glacier heli hike however you do need to have a minimum level of fitness. You will be on the ice hiking for around 3 hours (with plenty of stops) and there is some undulation so you should be comfortable walking for this amount of time on some uneven surfaces.
In your Prices you still include 'Face the Fox' walks - are they still available? We will be there 18 Mar 2015
Hi, one more question I found there is other walks available from this website but it's no in your website, could you confirm if it's available?
Fox Trot (half day walk) - allow 4 hours (1 hr ice time)
Nimble Fox (all day walk) - allow 7 hours (4 hrs ice time)
thanks
Irene

Hi Irene. There was an ice slip a month or so ago at Fox Glacier which has meant the Fox Trot and Nimble Fox walks are not operating until conditions change. There is a new walk called the Quick Fox which is a shortened version of the Fox Trot half day walk that is operating as well as the Heli Hikes.
Hi
I was more worried about clothing. If we are looking at going on the half day walk, what clothes are recommended?
Thanks
Comments
Hi Luisa, it is recommended that you bring 3 - 4 layers of warm upper body clothing. Jeans are not recommended on wet days as they become very cold and uncomfortable to wear. You will be provided with sturdy leather boots for walking on the day. It is also recommended that you bring sunglasses and sun protection, a day pack with drink and snacks, raincoat (this can be supplied if you don't have your own) and during the winter months you will need a warm hat and gloves too.
Can i bring my own camera?
Comments
Hi Jess. Yes you are welcome to take your camera with you on the Fox Glacier guided hike.
