  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Brewster Glacier is a spectacular alpine glacier in Mount Aspiring National Park, surrounded by towering peaks, icefalls, and rugged mountain scenery. Reached via a steep hike beyond Brewster Hut, it offers a true high-alpine experience with breathtaking views of the Southern Alps and one of New Zealand's most accessible glaciers.

Photography Tips

Have a good eye on shadows and light. When theres shadows and you want to place objects, you rather take some bright outfit. Do the opposite when theres bright light.

Travel Information

The hike begins at the Fantail Falls car park on State Highway 6, about a 1-hour drive north of Wānaka along Haast Pass. Reaching Brewster Glacier typically involves an overnight stay at Brewster Hut, with the hut reached in 2–3 hours and the glacier requiring an additional 2–3 hours of steep alpine hiking. The glacier section is suitable only for experienced hikers in good weather.
