Highly recommend!! Well preparation from fox glacier guiding so no need to prepare yourself much just enjoy with the glacier. If you travel to Southern of New Zealand, land on glacier and do some activities is the good choice. All staffs are friendly. I love it!
It is a great experience on the glacier where you have enough time to explore and enjoy.
