By boat, we explore the huge dripping iceface of New Zealands largest glacier. Watch and listen to the ice melting before your eyes in this tranquil glacial lake nestled in the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
Discover spectacular ice formations which have calved into the murky waters of Lake Tasman. Stop, to touch and taste 500 year old ice and, on occasion, a walk on an iceberg provides a new and exciting experience for all. You wont revel in serenity for long, as all senses are jolted back to reality as rockfall crashes down the iceface above.
Guides give a comprehensive commentary on the mechanics of the Tasman Glacier, disclosing facets of glaciation, terminal lake formation, plate tectonics, local and climbing history.
The three hour tours depart from Mount Cook National Park by minibus on a 15 minute drive, followed by a half hour walk to the shore of Lake Tasman. You will be fitted with lifejackets before boarding the stable MAC Boats powered by Yamaha. From here the 1 hour adventure exploring the lake, glacier and icebergs begins. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes and to bring warm clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses and of course a camera! Please be aware that some walking is involved.
