The Hermitage

Tasman Valley 4WD & Argo Tours

A unique 4WD & Argo adventure with close-up views of the Tasman Glacier and its gigantic moraine walls.  This trip is guaranteed to be both memorable and highly enjoyable.  It stops at several vantage points overlooking the Tasman Glacier and Terminal Lake and provides some of the most spectacular photographic opportunities in the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.

Your friendly guide will provide informative commentary on all that can be seen outside. As you travel up the Tasman Valley on a 4WD track you will be amazed at the awesome mountain scenery! During the Spring and Summer months you can see an abundance of Mount Cook Lilies, Celmesia Daisies, Golden Spaniard Spear Grass and many delicate mountain flowers. You may even catch a glimpse of the world's only 'mountain parrot' - the New Zealand's cheeky Kea.

What's an Argo? ARGOs are 8 wheel all terrain vehicles (ATV's) capable of conquering virtually anything in their path, including water, ice, deep snow and even steep mountain terrain in the most frigid of conditions.  This makes them ideal for your exploration of the rugged and beautiful Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.
