Well organised and significant care factor throughout, we initially had to cancel due to poor weather and were put in a wait list, they had a cancellation on a following day and we were called straight away. Ben was an excellent guide and shared lots of interesting facts and made the tour. Icebergs and scenery were amazing, highly recommend to anyone visiting for a unique experience.
Unforgettable Adventure on Ice!nnThe Glacier Explorer tour was an incredible experience! Cruising among icebergs on the Tasman Lake, right next to the glacier face, was surreal. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, making it fun and educational. A once-in-a-lifetime chance to get up close to a glacier – absolutely worth it!
Really loved this boat ride/tour. Good boats, seemed pretty new. Terrific guide/boat driver he was very good really, gave us heaps of info and drove the boat well. Sorry I have forgotten his name I think he was American. Saw lots of ice bergs in the lake and even touched them. Definitely do this if you go to Mt Cook
Worth a visitnnNeed to hike before reaching the boarding point and hike back after thatnnNeed to leave the bags then wear safety vest. Safety briefing on the boat.nnInformative and educational tour about the glaciers. Get to go up close and also taste the glaciersnnOur guide was awesome, he would rotate the boat to ensure everyone had good views, also helped us to take photosnnWindy and cooling when boat is speeding.
It was amazing! Altough or probably because I was disappointed at the first moment when I was at the Tasman Lake View Point I expected blue water & white Glacier - the Boat Tour was so awesome! It was really interesting to hear why it looks like it looks grey water & stones Glacier. And of course the Glacier pieces in the Lake were stunning!!!
