The experience

Frozen Lakes, Towering Peaks, and Endless Ice – The Perfect Setting for Our Heli Hike Adventure

Experience an unforgettable adventure with our Flying Fox Heli Hike, combining the thrill of helicopter flights with the excitement of walking on the Fox Glacier. By helicopter, you’ll access a unique and breathtaking part of the glacier, where you will see stunning ice caves and arches.

Your journey begins with a scenic helicopter ride over the lower icefall, where you’ll witness the glacier’s constant motion. From there, you’ll land on the remote and picturesque glacier, where your guide will outfit you with crampons and lead you on an exploration of the amazing ice formations.

Each departure is a thrilling voyage of discovery, with guides often finding new and unexpected features. With up to 3 hours of ice time, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to marvel at the stunning Victoria Falls and other breathtaking sights. Please note that this is a natural and ever-changing environment, so no guarantee can be given that specific features will be seen.
