We rode our hired bikes up to the carpark and then walked to the Glacier. It was raining on and off, so the view wasn't fantastic but still worth seeing. The glacier has a shrunk a lot due to warming and it's quite a way off but you can still see the face of it. We were going to check the other lookout (on the other side of the river) but it was raining too heavily then. I think it has a view from above rather than below, which should be better. It's not tough for us but I think the main track could be a lot better maintained, given the large number of people using it, many with unsuitable footwear.

Its very pretty to start with and the views are interesting. The current path to the overview is quite a slog uphill to view the (remnants of) the glacier.

Said 3 hour return to car park. I stopped for lots of photos and it still only took less than 2. Well maintained paths suitable for any fitness level leave from Fox Glacier village. The walking is by no means challenging, but the rainforest is beautiful. Stop at the historic suspension bridge and do go to the glacier viewing point. Unfortunately, the path to the hut and glacier was closed due to the river being flooded. I booked a helicopter hike to get up to the glacier but that was canceled due to fog and clouds. There is nothing else to do without a car in Fox Glacier, so stay at Franz Joseph if you can. Looked way better as a village.

Having visited Fox glacier after Franz Josef we found it a little disappointing and quite a tough trek up to viewing the point. Both amazing though!

More rigorous than advertised, but worth the hike. The glacier itself is a bit shrunken and disappointing.

You should visit this disappearing glacier soon don't hire a tour guide walk to the top your self visit soon it's a good place

So you have seen glaciers on TV and Film but to walk the 4k up to the face is just a life changing experience. With the planet warming, for whatever reason, the ice caps, which include our glaciers, are retreating and dumping their melt water into the sea, raising the sea level. This stunning piece of natural architecture is breathtaking to look at. If you are near, GO THERE.

Took a guided tour to the glacier. This meant some informative chat from the guide and an access point not available to lone walkers. Walk was not too strenuous and it was an interesting way to spend an hour or two.

We walked the free public access trail up to the glacier, no any of the paid tours; only about 20 minutes drive from Fox Glacier town, easy to get to.. For us it was fine; the walk took about 40 minutes there / 30 back (all down hill on the way back); only moderately steep (our 7 year old handled if fine) and occasional bits of 'adventure' (eg: stepping stones over a stream); enough for city kids to feel advernturous, not so much that parents got worried! Glacier itself is about 200m away from the viewing area, so you're not actually close to it, but still good to see, and the signposts of where the glacier used to flow to over the past 100 years are a sobering reminder that global warming is real and impacting us.

Hurry to the Fox Glacier while it is still available as it is disappearing. No longer can hikers walk tot he glacier but now requires a more costly helicopter ride. But it is well worth it. The guides are well-trained and safety is foremost. This is one of those trips of a lifetime.
