Terms of use

As of October 2026

What this is about

These terms apply to the use of the website foxglaciertours.com. Fox Glacier Tours is an independent guide to Fox Glacier on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, and to the heli-hikes, flights and walks around it. We do not sell flights, hikes or tours ourselves.

Who sells your tour

If you book a tour through one of our links, you enter into the contract on the GetYourGuide website with GetYourGuide or with the respective tour operator. Their terms and conditions apply. They are responsible for the tour, payments, rebookings, and cancellations, not we.

Prices and availability

Prices on this website are starting prices and are for orientation only. If you convert them into another currency, we use reference rates from the European Central Bank; the result is an approximate value. Only the price and availability shown by GetYourGuide before booking are binding.

Weather, Ice and Closures

Trips onto Fox Glacier depend on the weather. Low cloud, rain or wind can move or cancel a heli-hike or a flight on the day, the route on the ice changes as the glacier changes, and walking tracks in the valley can close after floods or rock falls. Weight limits, age limits and who flies when are decided by the operator. Whether a tour offers a refund or a new date is determined solely by the terms of the respective offer. Our information on the glacier, the tracks, seasons and climate is based on the sources we cite on each page. It does not replace the operator's or the Department of Conservation's current information.

Commissions

Links to tours are affiliate links. If you book through such a link, we receive a commission from GetYourGuide. You incur no additional costs as a result.

Links to other websites

We link to third-party sources and offers. The respective operators are solely responsible for their content.

Copyright

Texts and graphics on this website are copyrighted. You may read, print, and share them for private purposes by linking to the page. Any other use requires our consent. Tour photos belong to the respective providers; map data: © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Liability

We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence as well as for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health. Otherwise, we are liable only for breach of essential obligations and limited to typically foreseeable damage. Use of this website is free of charge.

Applicable law and changes

German law applies. If you are a consumer with ordinary residence in another state, the mandatory protection provisions of your home country remain unaffected. We may amend these terms; the version published at the time of your visit to the website applies.
