Guiding on Fox Glacier came alive in 1928, when the Fox Hotel, first offered guided trips onto the glacier. In 1974, Mike Browne (a mountaineer working at Mount Cook) moved to Fox and took over the glacier guiding. Mike is also a founding member of the New Zealand Mountain Guides Association (NZMGA) which is an affiliate of the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations (IFMGA). Mike and his wife Carrol grew the business steadily over the next 31 years and in 2005 additional shareholders joined the business, which helped shape Alpine Guides Fox Glacier Ltd which trades as Fox Glacier Guiding into the vibrant, dedicated and professional business it is today, with over 60 staff. Whilst we’ve grown and evolved, you’ll find we haven’t lost that ‘family’ feel. Come and experience our friendliness and hospitality for yourself. We offer a full range of trips for all fitness levels, budgets and timeframes. Matching clients with suitable trips is our specialty.
