About The Site

What The Site Is

Tasman Glacier Boat Tour is an independent guide to the Glacier Explorers boat trip on Tasman Lake at Aoraki / Mount Cook, plus a comparison of the day trips that reach the area. It runs no tours, is owned by no operator and is email-only at info@tasmanglacierboattour.com.

What It Covers

Two things. First, a plain-language guide to the boat trip: prices from the operator, the walking requirement, the weather policy and the check-in flow. Second, 15 day trips in 4 categories: Day Tours From Christchurch with 4 tours, Private Day Tours From Christchurch with 3, Day Tours From Queenstown with 5, and Day Tours From Lake Tekapo And Wanaka with 3.

How Data Is Gathered

Day trip prices, durations, ratings, review counts and inclusions come from each tour's booking page. Boat facts come from the operator, The Hermitage, and from the Department of Conservation. Where the operator's own pages give two statements on a point, such as the season, both are shown plainly.

How It Earns Money

Commission on day trips and hotels only, paid by booking platforms when a booking follows a link from this site. The boat trip earns the site nothing: it is run and sold only by the operator, and the site's link to it is a plain link.

What It Does Not Do

It does not sell, run or book anything. It cannot change a booking, issue a refund or confirm whether a boat is running. It has no author persona and reports research rather than first-hand trips.

How To Cite It

Cite the site as Tasman Glacier Boat Tour. Attribute day trip figures to the tours' booking pages, and boat facts to the operator and the Department of Conservation. Contact is by email only at info@tasmanglacierboattour.com.
