Kayaking on Lake Mapourika is a beautiful way to experience the serene West Coast environment. We booked through Franz Josef Wilderness Tours and had an unforgettable adventure.

The tour combines paddling with fascinating information about the lake, Franz Josef, and New Zealand’s natural history. The guides take plenty of photos, capturing the dramatic scenery and wildlife, creating wonderful memories of the trip. We especially enjoyed kayaking up a hidden creek and learning about the local birds and ecosystem along the way. It’s a peaceful yet immersive way to explore this stunning region.
