New Zealand Mount Cook + Tasman Glacier Lookout Tour [16-Person Mercedes Small Group]

This is a premium 1-day tour with a small group and full guided experience, taking you to admire the magnificent natural views of New Zealand's South Island. The itinerary specially includes the Tasman Glacier View Walk, allowing travelers to safely appreciate New Zealand's longest glacier up close from the designated walkway (Note: Travelers are not permitted to walk on the glacier itself).

If you plan to hike in Mount Cook National Park, it's recommended to prepare a simple lunch in advance or replenish food supplies at Omarama along the way.

Note:

Currently, the Hooker Valley Track is closed beyond Müller Lookout due to suspension bridge maintenance (between the first and second suspension bridges). The area still offers stunning scenery and is suitable for easy hiking. The full trail is expected to reopen in fall 2026.
