Fox Glacier + Lake Matheson
Combo Tour
Experience the ultimate adventure with our full-day Fox Glacier and Lake Matheson combo tour. Nestled within the stunning UNESCO World Heritage site, begin your journey through the lush, historic glaciated rainforest of Westland Tai Poutini National Park. Meander along trails lined with towering rata and rimu trees, moss-covered landscapes, and breathtaking views of the upper Fox Glacier, the Fox Neve and Mt Tasman—one of New Zealand's highest peaks. Learn about glaciation, thermology, geology, flora and fauna, and local history from expert guides, including a chance to dip your hand in a geothermal spring. In the early evening, visit the iconic Lake Matheson, renowned for its majestic mirror-like reflections at this time of day. Enjoy a treasure hunt for fungi, native orchids and birds and a relaxing tea break while soaking in the serene lake views.
This protected lake ensures a peaceful experience free from kayakers or noisy jet boats. Book now to explore these must-see natural wonders!
