Great experience to hike at Tasman Glacier. We had it on 29-Oct-25. We were very lucky as the event was cancelled for 3 weeks due to bad weather. Tori, Richard and Kirby were excellent in guiding and taking care of us. It started with a briefing, then helicopter ride to start the hiking on the glacier. This is a must-do, an unforgettable experience!
