Exploring the Blue Lakes and Tasman Glacier Walks in Canterbury

#mytraveldiary The Blue Lakes and Tasman Glacier Walks are wonderful short trails in the Tasman Valley that showcase the beauty of Canterbury’s alpine landscapes. The tracks are easy to follow and suitable for most visitors, making them perfect for a relaxed adventure. The Blue Lakes, which are now more green than blue due to glacial changes, still provide a lovely spot to pause and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Continuing on, the Tasman Glacier Walk rewards you with views of New Zealand’s largest glacier, along with a lake often dotted with floating icebergs. The contrast of rugged mountains, icy waters, and open skies is simply stunning. These walks may be short, but they offer a big payoff in scenery and are a must see near Mount Cook.
