We'll take you further, into the most spectacular ice falls and guarantee the most extensive and rewarding glacier adventure available.
After being fitted out with all your equipment at our company office, a ten minute bus ride takes you to within 2.5 kilometer (1.5 miles) of the glacier, where you enjoy a short bush walk through regenerating rainforest, regrouping in the glacier valley.

You then proceed to the front of the glacier (2.5 kilometers), with your guide calling stops along the way to explain the unique features of the glacier and glacier valley. Here you strap on a set of Ice-Talonz, accessing the terminal face of the glacier for up to 6 hours of pure adventure.

The scenery is spectacular, and with a total of six hours on the ice, you could find yourself in all manner of situations, from squeezing through tight blue crevasses to Franz Shuffling down near vertical walls of ice. Gaining confidence as you go you will venture through some of the most stunning and challenging terrain imaginable.
