Blue Lakes and Tasman Glacier View Walk

Nestled in the Tasman Valley, the Blue Lakes and Tasman Glacier View Walk offers hikers a short but rewarding journey through New Zealand’s stunning alpine landscape. The trail begins with an uphill trek of about 1 mile (1.5 kilometers) round-trip to the Tasman Glacier View, where visitors can marvel at the vast expanse of New Zealand’s longest glacier. For those seeking more, a short spur trail leads to the vibrant Blue Lakes, or opt for the longer 2.3-mile (3.7-kilometer) round-trip path to Tasman Glacier Lake, both providing additional scenic vistas and a closer look at the glacial environment.
