The first river to paddle after leaving Queenstown was the Hooker. I had already been here with Mari a couple of weeks before and was very pleased to get the opportunity to paddle this glacier river.
Paddlers: James, Toni, Markus, Jono and Espen
Walking from the camping ground. Lesson learned: Never leave your paddling gear outdoors when there are Kias in the area. The cute parrot lookalike love plastic and rubber and during the night they managed to pearce a few drytops and spay-skirts
The Hooker River actually starts from the terminal lake of the Hooker glacier, but we only did the lower part from the terminal lake of the Mueller glacier.

The Mueller Glacier. The ice made it sure that this would be a cold experience.

Nice colour contrast

It is interesting when you can't see beneath the water surface
Big mountains
