Glacier Explorer

Witness the Tasman Glacier Up Close

Once onboard, Glacier Explorers guides you toward the gigantic Tasman Glacier ice wall, surrounded by snow-capped alps on every side. Because expert guides accompany you throughout the journey, you’ll gain fascinating insight into this ever-changing glacial landscape.

Listen to the Glacier in Action

Throughout the tour, you’ll have the rare opportunity to hear the massive ice face melting within the peaceful glacial lake. Icebergs of every shape and size periodically break away from the glacier, drifting into the rapidly growing lake below. Because this makes it one of the few accessible glacial lakes in the world containing icebergs, it’s a truly rare sight to witness firsthand.

A 2.5-Hour Unforgettable Experience

In total, the Glacier Explorers tour lasts approximately 2.5 hours. Throughout this time, you’ll take in the sheer beauty of nature and witness awe-inspiring sights found almost nowhere else on Earth.

So, if you’re seeking an adventure that combines natural wonder, expert guidance, and breathtaking alpine scenery, Glacier Explorers New Zealand delivers a truly unforgettable journey through one of the country’s most spectacular landscapes.
