This is a wonderful glacier experience full of variety and interest. Walkers (fitted with boots) board the glacier bus for a short drive through rainforest and into the steep-sided glacial valley. The guide leads you beside the river bed to a track which zig-zags uphill through ferns and regenerating temperate rainforest. From high on the track you enjoy fantastic views of the glacier. After crossing the ridge, you can see into the upper icefall. Departs 9.30am and 2.00pm daily form Alpine Guides. Duration 3 hours.
