Partial Closure of Hooker Valley Track and Alternative Walking Options

Dear Guests,

We are pleased to inform you that the first swing bridge on the Hooker Valley Track has now reopened. The track is currently accessible up to the viewing platform, which is a 3.5 km return walk.

As a result, we have partially resumed our regular tour itinerary, based on the current conditions.

Please note that no partial refunds will be issued as the tour is proceeding in an adjusted format.

For guests returning from the Hooker Valley Track, Tasman Glacier Viewpoint Track, or River Track, we are happy to offer the following additional walking options:

👉 Additional Walking Options:

Kea Point Track (approx. 45-60 minutes return) – Easy

Red Tarns Track (approx. 1.5-2 hours return) – Moderate

Sealy Tarns Track (approx. 2.5-3 hours return) – Hard

Track access is subject to change due to weather conditions and unforeseen maintenance work by the Department of Conservation (DOC). Please check with our friendly driver on the day to confirm availability.

We look forward to welcoming you to Mount Cook☺
