Overview

The Tasman Glacier is Aotearoa New Zealand's longest glacier measuring at 27km long and as wide as 4km in places, so this is an experience of a lifetime to explore the ever changing ice formations that carved this wonderful landscape in the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park. Your journey will begin with a scenic helicopter flight to the Tasman Glacier, landing 1200m above sea level. A two hour hike with professional and experienced guides amongst epic glacial ice formations, gentle undulating terrain below the highest peaks of the Southern Alps. The snow-clad giants tower above vast icefalls that flow down the mountain sides. On the return flight, pass the Hochstetter Icefall as your adventure nears its end.

Superb experience overall! Really enjoyed it! Ariana is a wonderful tour guide, made the hike super fun and informative!

Helicopter ride was...

Published on Jan, 2025

Helicopter ride was beautiful and Matt was an excellent guide! We had the chance to explore far down into an ice cave which was a unique sight to see.

Brilliant, but have back up dates - Weather can be a factor!

Published on Dec, 2024

We finally made it to the glacier on our third try! Be warned, the weather might be nice in Mt Cook but they are responsible for the safety of their guides and passengers on the glacier, so you might not be so fortunate. It’s a cool hello ride up and back, and the hike around the glacier is very interesting. Our guide was great (although they all seemed very friendly) and you’ll get to see some interesting aspects of the glacier. Well worth it!

An experience not to be missed

Published on Nov, 2024

Tour was very organised, from start to finish. All staff was very friendly. Our guide Maddy was very knowledgeable and allow us plenty of time to go through crevices and ice cave. The experience of walking on glacier was exhilarating. Will definitely recommend this.

A great and memorable tour

Published on Jul, 2024

The awesome view and the knowledge of the guide gave us a great and memorable tour. We would recommend our friend to take up this tour in future.
