Tasman Glacier Boat Cruise

Tasman Glacier Boat Cruise

Experience the grandeur of New Zealand's largest glacier from the waters of Lake Tasman on this educational tour suitable for all ages. Your tour takes you to the shores of Lake Tasman for a cruise over its cloudy waters to the icy terminal wall of the Tasman Glacier.  Stretching for 27km, the Tasman Glacier is New Zealand’s longest glacier, and this tour gives you a unique opportunity to visit its immense terminal wall which is retreating back up the valley at a rate of 30m a year.  Watch as the glacier slowly melts before your eyes and icebergs of all shapes and sizes break off the 600m deep river of ice.  Hear the sounds of this ancient glacier as it drips into the lake and cracks and creaks as the ice shifts above you.
