Glacier Explorers underwent their monthly safety training yesterday when they closed off trips for the afternoon and all team members were 'refreshed' in the art of rescue in the very unlikely case a boat capsized. The water was just 2 degrees Celsius and even though the wetsuits they wore were 15ml thick and only hands and faces exposed, just 15 minutes at a time was long enough in the water!
This training is part of an overall approved safety plan which meets maritime standards and is designed in conjunction with the Aoraki Mount Cook Search and rescue team. Glacier Explorers departs 5 times a day from The Hermitage Hotel and is a truly unique glacier and iceberg experience which is not to be missed. Make your booking online at
