The Experience

What your day looks like

Picture this: Mt Earnslaw Glacier towers above you, the air tastes crisp and fresh, the sun sparkles off the white snow, and the flow of waterfalls serenades you – it’s a picnic like no other with plenty of time to run around and explore. Your ears fill with the rush of waterfalls, your eyes feast on the dazzling glacier hanging above you, your nose enjoys the fragrant, local wine in your glass. All other picnics pale in comparison to this one. The perfect romantic trip for proposals, honeymooners and anniversaries, or for those wanting an unforgettable experience as this excursion lets you enjoy the magic of the Earnslaw Burn up close and personal. The Earnslaw Burn has been featured on: Lord of the Rings The Hobbit Travel Guides Australia Tracked The Summit In winter months (June – August) the Earnslaw Burn does not have as many fast flowing waterfalls compared to our spring and summer months (September – March). It is still a stunning and magical location to visit during winter as there is usually extra snow coverage on the glacier and throughout the valley.
