Glacier Explorers

Visit New Zealand's Tasman Glacier terminal lake for a fascinating glacial encounter. Cruise the rapidly growing terminal lake taking in spectacular mountain views and scenery. Icebergs of every shape and size periodically tear away from the glacier, allowing you to touch and taste the 300-500 year old glacial crystals.

Depart from The Hermitage Hotel. The bus will take you to the Tasman Valley, followed by a 30 minute alpine walk through the moraine and National Park. Board your custom built MAC boat, and enjoy the ever changing scenery. View the Tasman Glacier ice face from a safe distance and icebergs of all shapes and sizes.

Glacier Explorers generally operates from the middle of September to late May - the glacier lake freezes over winter so the start of the season is subject to the lake thawing.
