Glacier Sea Kayaking - $110 per person
3-hours
Trips start at 10am or 2pm
The legendary voyage that includes getting up close and personal with a real glacier and icebergs. Avalanches thunder at random down the slopes of the mighty Mt Sefton. There is also an opportunity to experience the Quiet Zone of Aoraki-Mount Cook National Park.Watch the action at the front of the glacier where it meets the lake. Paddling into the aqua and blue glacier melt pools is an experience you wont forget. This would have to be some of the purist water on the planet. View the natural wonder of glacial carving and geological effects caused by the advances and retreating of the glaciers over time. The concept of time takes on a new meaning here. Enjoy stunning views of Aoraki-Mount Cook.
