Description
Experience the thrill of exploring a living glacier, surrounded by blue ice, sweeping ridges and volcanic landscapes shaped by centuries of movement.
With specialist equipment and expert guidance, the glacier becomes an unforgettable outdoor playground of textures, colours and wide South Coast views. Clear organisation and expert guidance make it easy to relax into the experience and enjoy every memorable moment.
The zipline adds a short burst of height and speed above the ice. A no-fly ticket lets companions complete the guided glacier experience and watch without riding the line, while the included photos preserve the day without relying on a phone in cold conditions.
