Rob Roy Glacier Guided Walk

Rob Roy Glacier Guided Walk ($64 - $380)
The Rob Roy Glacier in beautiful Mt Aspiring National Park is a sight to behold, and an example of mother nature at her most spectacular, with enormous chunks of ice often seen tumbling from the face of the glacier, filling the valley with a thunderous roar.
Your day begins with a scenic drive from Lake Wanaka into the scenic Matukituki valley, followed by a brief walk through farmland, before crossing a swing bridge and finally emerging from the alpine treeline. You’ll enjoy lunch in the most magical of settings, surrounded by mountain streams and alpine herb fields, with stunning views from every angle.
Your Rob Roy Tour Guide will show you the special places for photo opportunities and the flora and fauna. There is the option to add on a scenic river loop track for spectacular photo opportunities.
