The longest glacier in New Zealand, Haupapa/Tasman Glacier is 23 km / 14 mi long and as much as 600 m / 1968 ft thick in places. Found in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, flowing down from the peaks of the Southern Alps, experience it for yourself from the Tasman Glacier Walks near Aoraki Mount Cook Village.

The Tasman Valley Tracks provide a short and satisfying option to see some of the best views in the Tasman Valley, as well as a much shorter (and quieter) alternative to the popular Hooker Track.

On the Tasman Lake & River Track, walk to the boat jetty for the Tasman Glacier Boat Tours ([ Ссылка ]) and get up close and personal with the terminal Tasman Glacier Lake, where icebergs can often be seen (in summer & winter). On a still and calm day, the lake is like glass, reflecting the surrounding peaks like a mirror!

On the Tasman Glacier View Track, climb almost 100 vertical metres (328 ft) past the Blue Lakes (a fantastic swimming hole in summer) to a panoramic lookout of the Tasman Valley, Tasman Glacier Lake and the Haupapa/Tasman Glacier at the head of the lake. Marvel at the effects of glacial erosion, and imagine what the valley would have looked like when the glacier was at its fullest extent.
