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!!!

I was blown away by the icebergs, we got to touch one and saw three carvings on the iceberg which was epic!
-
Very well organised tour.
Safety equipment provided in good condition and guides were great.

We did this tour to Tasman Glacier & were blown away by the awesome sight of the beautiful icebergs on the lake.
They were all colours white, blue, black, striped, etc. Loved this, was well & truly worth the price.

Really well organised trip and although you could walk to the glacier yourself and see it from a distance the guides on this trip made it super enjoyable and being able to get on the water and touch the
icebergs was a treat. Wonderful photo opportunities and well worth the money.

Really impressive !
What a ride ! A unique experience in NZ ! Seeing those giants icebergs floating on the lake around you is unique and the colors are beautiful ! The staff is really knowledgeable about the glacier itself, lake and the icebergs !
Would highly recommend it !

We did the boat trip on the glacial lake.
You don't get very close to the Tasman Glacier, but you'll see some nice icebergs floating on the lake.
-
Well organised, efficient, good guiding.
Nice boat ride on the lake getting close to the icebergs. Unfortunately due to safety precautions, we had to stay a long way from the terminal face.
-
Nice experience.
Guides told a lot of good information, impressive to see the glacier-ice so close (ice-bergs in the lake) and we were lucky to see a part dropping into the lake.

Beautiful trip to the Tasman Lake - the ice rocks are fascinating, but after a few ice rocks you have seen them all.

I don't recommend anyone with kids or elders should join a glacier trip with a company named "GLACIER EXPLORERS" at Mt Cook, Lake Pukaki, New Zealand.
(you can find this company from FB)
I joined the glacier trip with my kid on 8 Jan 2017. There was a rude bus driver named "Rochelle". This rude driver also work as a guide asked my kid to walk close to group. Rochelle even said if my kid cannot walk as fast as the group, I have to carry him on this rocky road which is very easy to trip over, she completely ignore client safety. Also, she said I only have 2 choices, 1) carry him; 2) go back to the bus and cannot join the tour. She only wanted the tour finish asap and she can finish off her duty.
I can't believe that the staff is that unprofessional and rude to client.
I definitely not recommend this trip and this company with such kind of staff with this attitude......
