After a disappointing start to our day in Franz Josef, where our Heli Hike was cancelled last minute. We looked elsewhere for our once in a lifetime experience ( Except for our old friend who was here sometime last century ).
It was as if the glacier itself was calling to us. We parted ways with Franz Josef and called forward to the mighty Fox. A cheerful Libby answered the phone, more than happy to help, obtaining our group of four a last minute booking!
Jumping back into our metal steeds we zoomed to Fox glacier!
Upon arrival we were met with the friendly fox team, who geared us up and got us on our way. We were told our guide “Toa” would meet us at the top!
Strong believers in everything happens for a reason our hopes were high.
Toa met us at the helicopter and we were straight into the action! Our group of four was treated to our own private tour, led by the best guide on the glacier! Leading us through the glacier with knowledge, experience and laughter our tour was truly one to remember! Toa definitely making the trip! To cap it off we were the last group on the glacier, having it all to ourselves and even more so a final heli flight, where the pilot gave us an “orbit” up the glacier face! One for the memory bank for sure! Fox over Franz forever!!
Thankyou to the entire team!
And especially TOA!
