Reveal New Zealand Ep 18 from the West Coast and we're taking a Fox Glacier Heli Hike tour! It's a helicopter literally onto Fox Glacier and the highlight of our trip! Check it out here - geni.us/helihike ⬇ More Below ⬇
This is our favourite day of the entire New Zealand adventure. We've been waiting to visit Fox Glacier for so long and it lived up to the hype! We couldn't come to the West Coast and not take a Fox Glacier Heli Hike tour and neither should you.
New Zealand is home to thousands of glaciers, but few as popular as Fox Glacier and even fewer that you can take a hike on, let alone jump in a helicopter to land on the bloody thing!
If our New Zealand campervan mission ended right there we'd be happy, but there's a lot more to go on this trip!
Check out the Helicopter Tour we took here, with all gear, the heli and hike as one glacier trip - geni.us/helihike

@CJ-bu8mh Год назад

I has the most wonderful experience watching you two hike a similar path I hiked with my friend in 1983. Back then we had no where near the protective and helpful gear you had. They gave us boots with nails coming out of the bottoms and a wooden broom stick, also with a big nail poking out of the bottom. Our guide was a gazelle, who leaped over giant cracks with ease. Not jumped with ease by me but didn't fall in. And when our helicopter landed on the glacier (they say "gla" with short a not long a) it slid sideways down a soft surface for what seemed like eternity until it stopped moving. Off we went. You really really made my day as now am a long retired semi disabled person who lives vicariously through videos like this. Thank you again for making my morning spectacular. When I drove down the west coast to Fox Glacier there were unpaved single lane stretches where the cars and the trains shared the same one-at-a-time traffic. Only place in the world where there is a sign approaching the bridge that said Look For Trains! We rented a Newman's Toyota pop up camper. Only negative experience was those horrifically hungry for human blood black flies. Needed the local apothecary's home made pink lotion and that took care of it! I even got to shear a sheep. It did help that I knew folks there who were most accommodating and helpful in planning our 2-week trip. So envious you are spending a few months. That is definitely the ultimate method to submerge yourself in other cultures and landscapes.

We did a helicopter hike at Fox Glacier back in 2010, and that is really the pinnacle of our whole 8-day south island trip, where each day is in fact full of fun and excitement.

@DanegerAndStacey Год назад

Awesome! Guessing the glacier was a bit larger then?

@DrBearAviation Год назад

@@DanegerAndStacey It is supposed to be so. However, I can not tell the difference visually by comparing your video with my memory.

@PeterTodd 9 месяцев назад

@DanegerAndStacey I had the same experience as you guys, waited two days until the clouds/rain cleared and lucked in a flight, that was Jan 2010. The terminal was about 1km further down and that area you were climbing was a bit higher, so unfortunately yes, the glacier is slowly(?) shrinking : ( BTW, your series has been a delight to watch, covering so many places we travelled back then, I must get back to NZ. Love from sunny (40°C)Perth

Honestly,if some TV channel doesn't pick you guys up (Discovery,The Living Channel),I'm gonna be amazed,as you two are brilliant travel vloggers,presentation always immaculate, decent incidental muzak,always informative,and aren't scared to show the weather how it really is,in NZ,but most of all,are awesome ambassadors for NZ (especially with that natural urge of having a beer at the end of the day,and some light foul language,although we all know Kiwis are quite adept at swearing like the best of them). Again another awesome upload,and can only look forward to your next upload - you lucky bastards - haha

@simonmaney3438 3 года назад

I spent years accessing the West Coast glaciers by foot. I could spend an afternoon ice climbing, walk back to my car, and be at the pub within a couple of hours - truly remarkable! Most people don't realize that within a decade (2012 - 19) foot access (for suitably experienced peeps) to the four main glaciers - Franz, Fox and the Tasman and Hooker on the other side of the divide has all been destroyed (mostly by heavy rainfall events). Catching a helicopter is certainly worth it for that 'once in a lifetime' experience, but for those of us that liked to plan a few missions down that way each year, well sadly, it is all over. What I have learned from this is that Climate Change isn't as simple as melting ice and rising sea levels. Super charged storms are going to be the problem, wrecking havoc on an increasingly regular basis.

@DanegerAndStacey 3 года назад

That sounds incredible! Sad to hear the stories of how things have changed so much over the years though.

@simonmaney3438 3 года назад

@@DanegerAndStacey Thanks for the reply. Being able to explore the New Zealand glaciers, similar to what you did, but by simply parking the car and walking to them was one of New Zealand's (perhaps the Worlds) great experiences. Back in 2006-2012, it was about an hours walk from rainforest to ice - amazing. I was still able to access the Fox in 2018, but as I indicated, separate 2019 rainstorms destroyed access on both sides of the divide.

This is what worries me about travelling out of season as I don't have the luxury of booking several days in one place for just a 1 day activity as time is so squeezed. But wow, what an entrance onto that Glacier - the choice of music was brilliant, very well captured 🥰 This activity has shot up to the very top of my bucket list of what I'll want to do when I get to NZ. I've just seen your pinned comment and I hope this doesn't drag, it certainly doesn't deserve to, that was a video to be insanely proud of!!! 🙌

That's such a good idea! Definitely a unique experience and one she won't ever forget 💕

This is phenomenal, I held my breath hoping you guys would be able to do it and you did!! I think I’d be a bit scared to crawl through that arch, but I reckon I would do it, I’ve been through some small spaces 😂 but it still looks a tad scary and sometimes I’m a scaredy cat 🙀 hahaha

Wow what an experience!! One I’m sure you will never forget. Can I ask what time of year this was? I’m heading to the northern part of the South Island in a weeks time and seeing all your videos has been amazing and so informative. I can’t wait.

We never done the Fox Glacier in NZ. We have been on a glacier in Canada but wow that was awesome.... Definitely might get to do that sooner rather than later. We follow you on Instagram and saw this video.... New subscriber and will go check out your series. 😊👍🏻 cheers Kayleen

Morning both from Malaysia, watched all your vlog of NZ during the covid from April 2020 to now. Today, watched this again As human being, I have a typical weakness, wishing & what if, now that we have weather the pandemic and being closer to 60, will make sure Joyce and I live life What Dan said towards the end of your hike on the glacier, strike a cord Separately Stacey, Joyce and her girlfriend going on the Tongariro Crossing with a guide that both you and Dan took. I will be the driver as I am afraid of heights

when I was at Franz J - the glacier was off limits (Mar 2019) possibly reopened in a way now as there are less tourists here...but wonderful to see what the glacier has to offer. Not sure I'll get away to the SI or anywhere much this year as I'm having some health issues...

@DanegerAndStacey 3 года назад

Probably due to lockdown? it was back open when we were there. Sorry to hear about your health issues, sending loads of good vibes your way!

Hi guys fox glacier looks amazing , is there any reason you picked it over Franz Josef glacier...i have seen video on both and unsure on what one i should go for when back in NZ

@DanegerAndStacey 2 года назад

No real reason one way or the other, I think it just comes down to cost, timing, experience and what's available.
