    Our guide was excellent, explaining everything enthusiastically. I loved the hike—it wasn't too difficult and was truly a great experience. My friend which 63 years old also made it throughout the journey. When flying in the helicopter and looking down at the people waiting at the starting point, we humans appeared as small as peanuts compared to the glacier. Other guides were present to create and maintain our walking path, as the previous day's rain could cause the trail to change periodically. Shoes, socks, jacket, pants, glove and bags is provided. Recommend not to bring too much things with you. We were busy enjoying the views and taking pictures.

    This was everyone’s favorite activity we did in New Zealand! Our guide, Billy, helped make it super fun! We spent a lot of time walking around on the glacier and taking pictures. Billy set up fun opportunities for us to do, like holding on to ropes and sliding into a semi-horizontal crevasse. He also shared a lot of interesting information about the glacier and area. The helicopter ride was super fun! We highly recommend this activity!

  • We enjoyed every minute...

    We enjoyed every minute but you should be prepared for a lot of walking. The guides took it slow. Also, was not aware about bringing medication, should you have to spend the night. High light of our trip!
