Description
View from the River Walk Lookout view point
Starting from the car park at the end of the Glacier View road, the fully accessible River Walk Lookout track winds its way gently downhill through the rainforest to a great view point of Fox Glacier Te Moeka o Tuawe.
The River Walk walking track branches off providing access to the north side of the valley but it is not fully accessible.
Getting there
Drive south for 2 km from Fox Glacier Weheka township, and turn left immediately after crossing the Fox River bridge. The Glacier View Road is narrow and unsealed so drive carefully to the car park at the end of this road.
Places to stay
There are a number of accommodation options in Fox Glacier Weheka.
Plan and prepare
- Check the current track conditions and weather forecasts at the South Westland Weheka Area Office (Fox Glacier Weheka township) or the Westland Tai Poutini National Park Visitor Centre and i-SITE before starting your trip.
- Always take warm and waterproof clothing as the weather can change rapidly.
- Carry drinking water, insect repellent and sun protection at all times.
