Franz Josef Glacier Heli Hike | Fox Glacier, New Zealand | Wild Kiwi
Franz Josef Glacier Heli Hike | Fox Glacier, New Zealand | Wild Kiwi
Ticking off a massive New Zealand bucket list moment – the Franz Josef Glacier Heli Hike. We took a helicopter to the base of Fox Glacier and hiked through the ice, climbing through ice caves and squeezing our way through cracks in the ice. Such an incredible day!
We also jumped onto to quad bikes and drove through rainforest, mud and glacier fed waters – what a day!

Ice Age vibes
Omg. Just watching you go through those glaciers made me feel claustrophobic. 😬
Holy! That glacier hike was absolutely amazing! SIGN ME UP!
Were you able to drink the water at the glacier? Or not recommended? Heli-adventure for the win!!!
Hi there, do you mind sharing what camera you used when you in the ice caves and what’s the accessories you use to hold the camera? Your video looks so steady despite the ice caves is a hard one.
Everytime I see the glacier in blogs and vlogs it looks so amazing and pretty. I don’t think I could hike it though, apart from not fitting in those tiny gaps I would definitely freaky out at all the tiny spaces, eeek. Well done for doing it and thank you for filming the experience ❤
Sick guys, we just uploaded a video of this place too. But love your vlog and we need to go back for the quad trip!! haha
What an amazing day! Well done, y’all!
I think this is the best video from NZ! Definitely going to the glacier this December
I guess this is the best video of both of u… loved it😍😍
Wow!! We helied from Shotover back to Queensland and it was very nice – nothing like this. Not certain if my somewhat more rotund body could fit through many of those channels in the ice. Probably won’t try it; however the quad bikes looked like great fun.
Nice video
This is amazing but my claustrophobia is making me forget to breathe just watching this video. What an incredible experience!
Absolutely exhilarating! I admit to wincing a little as you guys were squeezing your way through that ice! OMG I hope there was no risk of cracks, collapses etc. You got nerves of steel! And Jess you’re a pro on the quad 🙂
AHH would love to both !! Its been on my list for so long
Quad bike!!
“Oh my gosh” you guys “are insane here”. 😂🤩I’ve got my family hooked watching your vlogs and I have perfected your accent. Keep up the good work!! Check out my page if you like. We just went to Utah for Spring Break.

Thank you for doing this and sharing it because it something I will never experience!
I laugh that it took you so long to explore NZ, yet I have not explored my home country/state too much, either… Well, AZ yes, because it is absolutely beautiful. But most other places I lived, not so much. I prefer to travel and explore those far away places…. Hehehe

Oh my gosh how incredibly gorgeous is the glacier! I just showed this to my fiance and He’s so jealous! He’s been to NZ before but I havn’t even left australia!
The Quad Bike is my pick, the Heli ride would be nice I did that in Hawaii, but the tight confines of the glacier Nope Nope Nope. couldn’t fit LOL..Great video..
