Glacier Boat Cruise

Tour GBC – 3 hrs

These tours depart daily between October and May from Mount Cook. Very few glaciers terminate into lakes and even fewer are readily accessible to travellers. Depart from Mount Cook National Park and travel by minibus for 15 minutes, followed by an easy 30-minute walk to the shores of Lake Tasman. Here you will join the boat for your adventure, exploring the huge ice-face of New Zealand’s largest glacier, Tasman Glacier. Watch and listen to the ice melting before your eyes in this tranquil glacial lake. Stop to touch, taste and hold 500-year-old ice. Knowledgeable guides will help you understand how the glacier makes its way on the long journey down the valley, eventually arriving at Lake Tasman in the form of a beautiful iceberg. The grandeur of the area will leave an impression which is difficult to describe and impossible to forget!

Price from £45 per person, departing from the Hermitage Hotel
