As with the Franz Josef Glacier, the Fox Glacier descends from the Southern Alps into temperate
rainforest, making the West Coast glaciers the most unusual in the world. The Department of
Conservation office at Fox Glacier provides up-to-date information about local tracks and track
conditions. Visitors of average fitness can easily walk most tracks in the area. Guided glacier
walks, heli-hikes, snow landings and other scenic flight options are available. Sights to see
include Gillespies Beach, Lake Matheson (Aoraki/Mount Cook and Tasman reflections) and the glow-worm
forest. Access to a seal colony at Gillespies Beach is available via the Galway Beach track. Food
is available at a licensed cafe and bar in the village.
