Experience South Westland
FOX GLACIER SOUTH SIDE WALKWAY/CYCLEWAY
Journey up the Fox valley through ancient rainforest by foot or by bike. This spectacular track takes to you to several viewpoints where you can see Fox Glacier/Te Moeka o Tūawe.
As you travel up the valley, you pass over the glacier’s history. The track crosses glacial moraines – mounds of debris left behind by the glacier as it has retreated over time. The different ages of the forest reflect the age of the moraines.
The name Te Moeka o Tūawe speaks to the cultural importance of the glacier for local Māori. It is the final resting place (moeka) of their ancestor
