Experience a breathtaking aerial journey over New Zealand’s Southern Alps, from panoramic views of stunning lakes to majestic glaciers, followed by an unforgettable glacial boat tour and scenic return flight.
New Zealand’s only glacial boat tour.
Fly up the spine of New Zealand’s South Island, taking in panoramic views of Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea on one side, and Lake Pukaki, arguably the country’s most beautiful lake, on the other. Experience breathtaking aerial views of the Franz and Fox Glaciers on the West Coast, as well as the Tasman Glacier within Aoraki/Mt. Cook National Park.
Marvel at the awe-inspiring summit ridge of Mt. Cook and the surrounding glaciers before landing at Aoraki/Mt. Cook Airport on the picturesque outskirts of Mt. Cook Village, where transport will be provided to the Hermitage Hotel.
From there, join your Glacier Explorers guides and travel by bus to the Tasman Valley. Enjoy a 30-minute alpine walk through the moraine and National Park before boarding New Zealand’s only glacial boat tour. Cruise across the terminal lake, passing towering ice walls, icebergs, and lateral moraines.
After your Tasman Glacier Explorers trip, you’ll have some time to grab a bite at the Hermitage Hotel Café, with stunning views of Mt. Cook.
On your return flight to Queenstown, follow a different path to take in the tussock-drenched Lindis Pass.
