Soaring over the rugged terrain, you’ll enjoy sweeping views from the West Coast to snow-capped peaks before
landing for an afternoon of guided exploration. As you traverse the glacier’s pristine landscape, your
guide will unveil its unique features, from towering blue ice walls to deep crevasses, while sharing their
knowledge and stories of the area.

Following an afternoon of discovery, return to camp where you can unwind with refreshing beverages
and nibbles. Your guide will set up your glamping tent and prepare a delicious dinner, allowing you to
relax and soak in the incredible surroundings. As the sun sets, the magic continues with a stargazing
experience under some of the clearest skies in the world. Awaken to the crisp mountain air with coffee
and pastries before flying off the glacier and heading to Te Waonui Forest Retreat for a delicious
breakfast. Spend one more night relaxing in comfort surrounded by native rainforest and enjoy a
decadent five-course degustation dinner.

Overnight camping experience is on an exclusive basis, only one booking per night. Max 6 guests.
Operates between 1st December and 31st March.
