Mueller Glacier Lake Kayaking

cruise kayakglacieradventure

Guided kayaking among small icebergs on the glacier-fed Mueller Lake beneath Aoraki/Mt Cook.

Why go

Paddle among icebergs on a glacier-fed lake in the shadow of New Zealand's highest mountain — an experience found in few places on earth.

This guided paddle takes you onto the surreal, milky-blue Mueller Glacier lake in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park, where you glide among floating chunks of ice calved from the surrounding glaciers. Ringed by moraine walls and towering peaks including Mt Sefton, it's a rare chance to kayak a genuine glacial lake, with guides sharing the geology and dramatic recent retreat of the ice. The scale and silence are unforgettable.
