Tai and Pablo recently guided a Japanese group on the Tasman Glacier and Grand Plateau.

The group, aged between 60 and 80, has travelled extensively and seen many of the world’s great places — yet the New Zealand alpine environment still left a strong impression for them.

Winter days bring winter rays! Thinking about joining us for our Tasman Glacier Helihike this winter? Don't stress, we have the gear, warm gloves and cool sunnies* to keep you warm on the ice.

Meet our man, Sam. He's been with us since time began. Sam's a guide of many talents and has almost mastered them all. He's traded the mountain life for Dunedin, but that doesn't stop him from getting on to quality rock and finding perfect powder snow whenever he can. Our Southern Alps and his beautiful family are just two of his many passions. Nice one Sam!
