#2月好去地方2025 In order to visit Fox Glacier, I stayed in a motel at the foot of the mountain for one night and had a good meal at Cook Saddle Cafe & Saloon opposite. This is an American log cabin-style restaurant that seems to be family-run. It mainly serves hearty BBQ Mexican-American cuisine. It has a fireplace and a bar. The atmosphere is super chill, and you can sit outdoors to enjoy the view. It seems that when you come to New Zealand, you have to eat big pieces of meat to be satisfied, so I ordered pork ribs and steak. I don’t know if it is a local specialty, but both steaks were topped with a lot of lettuce. If I had known, I would not have ordered salad separately, as the amount of vegetables was sufficient. The seasoning is very American, the ribs and steaks are delicious, but the best thing is the atmosphere of the restaurant. Under the warm fire and the tipsy lights, it is perfect for a beer and a chat. This is what is called family time. #NewZealandTravel #FoxGlacier

#100TravelWays During a self-driving trip to the South Island of New Zealand, we drove to #LakeMatheson near Fox Glacier. There is a famous Matheson Lake Trail, which takes about 40 minutes to circle the lake and enjoy the beautiful mirror-like Matheson Lake. If the weather is clear, you can clearly see Mount Cook and Mount Tasman reflected on the lake, which is why Lake Matheson is crowned as the most spiritual lake. Unfortunately, the weather was bad when we visited, but we still saw the beautiful glacial lake and green moss. There are four walking routes around Lake Masonson, none of which are very long, and you can bathe in the phytoncides of the forest. There is a Masonson Coffee at the entrance where you can have a cup of coffee and take a break. Isn’t it relaxing? #NewZealandSelf-Driving #NewZealandTravel #NewZealandSouthIsland #100TravelWays

Tucked into the forested foothills of the Alps, the cozy town of Fox Glacier is a great choice for glacier walks, flight activities and scenic excursions. ✔️Milford Sound: Milford Sound means "the first wild thrush" in Maori.

📍Sunset Motel 93 Cook Flat Road, Fox Glacier New Zealand It is about 1 km from the bus station helicopter meeting point, slightly on foot. But every room will see a beautiful landscape, a walk out is a good place to watch the sunset, like the name of the hotel "Sunset" If you want to save money, there are simple stoves available for cooking in the room. But note that Fox Glacier only has a small supermarket where you can buy fresh vegetables and ingredients and the price is slightly more expensive, it is recommended to purchase ingredients at New World, Pak'nSave, which will be passed earlier in the trip. The accommodation was friendly and introduced me to the surrounding nearby trail attractions and amenities. One of them is the Minnehaha Walk, where you can go at night in search of Glowworm. She was very courteous, seeing me traveling alone, and told me that if I was afraid of the dark, there would be people around the gas station at about 19:00 to form a team to walk, with people to guide and introduce, it was free! ! #June Good Places 2024 #New Zealand South Island #New Zealand

I remember the day I went to Fox Glacier to do the Glacier Heli Hike. We flew to Upper Glacier in about 4 minutes by helicopter. The scenery along the way was really spectacular. We watched the glacier slowly turn into a river and lamented the impact of global warming on the environment. The snow-white ice sheets of the glaciers and the blue ice caves are simply a wonderland on earth. After disembarking from the helicopter, our guide took us on small steps over the glacier on crampons. Every step was novel, seeing some blue ice could not believe their eyes, as crystal clear as gems. As we walked, the guide explained a lot of the geology of the glacier, which was really interesting. The trip was truly unforgettable for a lifetime, not only because of the beauty, but also because of the rare experience. Fox Glacier is located very close to the ocean on the west coast of New Zealand, a sight of this kind of glacier coexisting with temperate rainforests is very rare worldwide. #June Good Places 2024 #New Zealand South Island #New Zealand

📍Betsey Jane Eatery & Bar 27 Cook Flat Road, Fox Glacier 7886 New Zealand I think this is the best restaurant in town!! Fox Glacier is not a big town, and the restaurant is within a 10-minute walk of all accommodations. I ordered the Southland Venison Loin (NZ$39.5), which was very juicy, flavorful and tender, a great try. Especially this kind of venison cannot be found in Hong Kong, it is definitely worth a try. #June2024

In addition to global warming the scope of the glacier is reduced so the opportunity to board a glacier expedition is really rare!Fox Glacier The weather changes often If the clouds are too low the helicopter cannot take off If you have plenty of time you might as well reserve an extra night at Fox Glacier Stop by for a walk around Lake Matheson Sunrise time in May about 7:00 and the earliest time of glacier hiking is 07:50 is said to have the opportunity to see the morning light I was choosing 10:50 time the sun is relatively warm is not too cold about 15:00 back Fox Glacier Town Throughout the tour guide will introduce the formation and history of the glacier There is a chance to drill into the ice cave experience🧊 📍Fox Glacier Guiding 🚁 44 Main Road, State Highway 6, Fox Glacier 7859 New Zealand Trip experience💰ard HKD 3000 Franz Josef, which is 30mins drive from Fox Glacier, has a helicopter glacier experience but considering the accommodation and intercity bus services, I finally chose Fox Glacier (≧ω≦) Trails near Fox Glacier - Minnehaha Walk (campfireflies can be seen at night) - 马西森湖步道（反射岛、码头瞭望台） Now Trip.com has One NZ sim card can choose AKL or CHC to get very convenient than buying at the airport more discount!! #Free Lounge Exchange on Member Day 27th of each month #South Island New Zealand #Glacier Hiking #foxglacier #christchurch #newzealand #franzjosef #helicopter experience

Nice, scenic walk! Very easy terrain. A little wet on the day that we went. It took us 1.5 hr for a brisk walk on the entire loop. A stroll would probably take ~2 hrs. Took us 30 minutes drive from Franz Josef Village. There is a proper parking lot with a cafe and a little souvenir shop. Nice place to rest at after the walk. #newzealand #walks #scenic

#getgoing2025 Fox Glacier, a majestic river of ice nestled in the Southern Alps of New Zealand's South Island, offers a breathtaking spectacle of nature's power. Located near its more famous neighbor, Franz Josef Glacier, Fox Glacier is equally impressive, descending from the mountains towards the rainforest below. Guided walks and ice climbing adventures allow visitors to experience the glacier firsthand, exploring its crevasses, ice caves, and seracs. The surrounding landscape is equally stunning, with towering peaks and lush rainforest adding to the dramatic scenery. A short drive away, Lake Matheson provides a picture-perfect panorama, renowned for its mirror-like reflections of Aoraki/Mount Cook (New Zealand's highest peak) and the surrounding mountains. On a clear day, the reflections are truly magical, creating a postcard-worthy image that captures the essence of New Zealand's alpine beauty. Whether exploring the glacier itself or admiring the reflections on Lake Matheson, a visit to Fox Glacier is an unforgettable experience.
