  • This is the ultimate ice adventure and New Zealand's only glacier boat tour. Located in the heart of Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, you will cruise across the Tasman Glacial Lake and witness the sheer scale of the Tasman Glacier, which is the largest glacier in New Zealand.  
  • You will spend approximately one hour on the water, giving you ample time to weave in and out of floating icebergs. Because the glacier is constantly melting and calving, the lake is an ever-changing environment filled with everything from small ice fragments to towering blocks of compressed ancient ice. 
  • When weather and lake conditions permit, your guides will retrieve pieces of ice directly from the water, providing guests with the thrilling opportunity to see and handle ancient glacier ice up close. 
  • The journey to the boats is part of the adventure. Guests will embark on a scenic 1.5km alpine walk through the National Park, which takes about 25 minutes. The entire experience is designed to both thrill and educate, giving you a deeper understanding of this rapidly changing glacial landscape.

_What You Can Expect_

The Tasman Glacier Iceberg Boat Tour (operated as Glacier Explorers) is New Zealand's only glacier boat tour, offering a 2-hour and 45-minute immersive adventure in the heart of Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.

After a scenic 25-minute (1.5km) alpine walk through the national park, guests spend approximately one hour cruising the waters of the Tasman Glacial Lake. The tour provides an unparalleled, up-close encounter with New Zealand's largest glacier, allowing passengers to weave through constantly shifting floating icebergs. The experience is both thrilling and educational; guides teach visitors about the dynamic glacial landscape and, conditions permitting, retrieve ancient glacier ice directly from the lake for guests to see and touch.
