    Pretty good place to visit but very pricey as only one company does this. The guide were really nice and scenery stunning. You get to touch ice and see glaciers. Kids loved the boat experience and eating ice. We also got lucky (if that’s what u call it??) and saw some ice collapse off the face.
  • By Terry Wang
    Unforgettable, best experience in NZ south island, possible to touch, taste (purity) 400-year-old iceberg, see the terminal face of Tasman Glacier, which will disappear in 40 years. Kids absolutely loved it, good educational adventure and unique experience.
