Our team are always searching around the ever-changing ice, scouting new formations, hidden blue chambers and stunning features so we can share the best of the glacier with you.

It's not just about the route—it's about crafting an unforgettable experience. From towering ice walls to intricate crevasses and natural ice arches, we're constantly exploring which makes each day unique.

Congratulations to the Ōkārito Plant Project on reaching an incredible three-year milestone. In just a few short years, this community-led initiative has made a remarkable difference in restoring the natural beauty and biodiversity of South Westland, New Zealand.

Through dedication and collaboration, the project has planted over 2,000 native trees, contributed more than 500 volunteer hours, and engaged over 18 local businesses in hands-on conservation efforts. Their work restoring native habitats, waterways, and wetlands has strengthened ecosystems and inspired a model of regenerative tourism that connects people, nature, and community.

Recognition of their efforts came with the prestigious Collaboration Award at the 2025 New Zealand Tourism Awards—an achievement that reflects their leadership in sustainable and community-driven restoration.

Congratulations once again to everyone involved in the Ōkārito Plant Project. May the next chapter bring even greater growth, connection, and regeneration. Keep up the outstanding work in protecting and nurturing Aotearoa’s natural heritage.

It is ideal for people seeking a lighter, more accessible alternative to the full Heli Hike.
The total duration is approximately two hours, including a return helicopter flight and guided glacier hiking, with up to one hour spent on the ice.

Conservation Week is a chance to reflect on what makes this place so special.

Operating in a dynamic glacier environment means we see change up close, so protecting what we can matters more than ever.

Every trip supports our commitment to caring for this environment, now and into the future.
