Taking advantage of Fox Glacier's backpacker options is a great way to socialise before moving on and exploring the entire country on a budget. Backpacker accommodation is friendly, communal and reliable. They are places where, usually, young travellers congregate and often make friends with people of different nationalities. It's the most fun way to discover everything this country has to offer and meet like-minded travellers. New Zealand backpacker accommodation is considered to be of a consistently high quality. Most backpacker accommodation throughout the country offers a mixture of shared rooms (dormitories), as well as single, twin or double rooms for a higher (but still relatively cheap) cost. The facilities usually consist of a communal kitchen and bathroom, and a coin-operated laundry, although this does vary - many also have internet access, bars and TV lounges. Long-term rates are usually offered for those planning to stay awhile.

The Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers descend from the Southern Alps down into temperate rainforest just
300 metres above sea level. There's nothing like them anywhere else in the world. From the nearby
towns, you can arrange to walk on the glaciers. Alternatively, it's easy to hike to the foot of
either glacier. Scenic flights provide a different view of these giant rivers of ice. There is a
wide range of accommodation in the area of the glaciers; choose from luxury hotels, apartments,
lodges and retreats, self-catering motels, youth hostels for backpackers and holiday parks with
budget accommodation, campervan and campsites. Pet friendly accommodation may be available by
arrangement.
