Fox Glacier is a village in ‘Glacier Country’ on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. Tucked discreetly into the rainforest-clad foothills of the Southern Alps, it has a stunning outlook across the surrounding farms and offers breath-taking views of New Zealand’s two highest peaks, Aoraki (or Mt Cook) and Mt Tasman. The tiny township mostly serves as a base for visitors to its massive icy namesake. Compared to its larger, busier neighbour Franz Josef, Fox Glacier exudes a quieter, more intimate atmosphere. But there is plenty on offer to thrill even the most enthusiastic adrenalin addict. Journey deep into towering rain forests, explore the blue ice caves of the glaciers, jet-boat up a glacial river, or go skydiving.
