Glacier Kayaking. Aoraki Mt Cook National Park

Glacier Kayaking. They are wonderful trips. The journeys take in some incredible scenery and are really quite awe-inspiring. All our boats are double sea kayaks and are fitted with outriggers on both sides for perfect stability. We call these “Floaties”.
The Tasman Glacier Lake kayaking trip has been named in the top 33 NZ Lonely Planet Ultimate Adventures and top 1000 in the world!

Trips depart from The Old Mountaineers’ Café, Restaurant & Bar (next door to the DOC visitor information centre). Can you let us know your contact details and where you will be staying while in the Aoraki Mount Cook area.

This trip is an adventure for the kayaker and provides an opportunity to meet ice bergs face to face. New Zealand’s longest glacier winds its way down the Southern Alps for nearly 30km before culminating at the terminal lake. The transition from glacier to lake produces impressive icebergs on a regular basis; this truly is ‘big berg country’.

We have limited seats. Early bookings are essential on this spectacular adventure.

You will need to bring the following:

1 Sun hat
2 Sun glasses
3 Warm clothing (just in case there is a cool breeze)
4 Suncream
5 Sturdy shoes. (runners etc)
6 Camera
7 Wind shell
