Picnic in the glaciers
A Tasman Glacier Ice Cave & Picnic Experience is a family-friendly way to explore the Tasman Glacier, New Zealand s longest glacier. Depending on conditions, explore the ice caves, midglacier, or the seracs of the upper Glacier Neve. A thrilling and scenic helicopter or ski-plane ride and a mountain-top picnic are part of the package. All equipment is provided, all fitness levels are welcome, and no prior experience is required, although there is an age restriction of 10 years. Allow up to six hours for this experience, which caters for up to five passengers and usually costs $4999. During April, the experience is discounted to $3999.

If you want to experience New Zealand s most beautiful places – and I mean experience them, not just look at them from afar – you need to suffer a certain amount of discomfort.
You need to lug a pack groaning under the weight of a week s worth of food. You need to put up with mosquitoes invading your tent, a wafer-thin mattress and dehydrated meals. Don t even start me on breaking camp in the rain or sharing a hut with a dozen incurable snorers.
