Kayak Tours

Our kayak tours depart from the iconic Jetty bay on Lake Mapourika and head across the lake to explore pristine rainforest creeks and walking tracks as well as a kiwi conservation area. The backdrop of the Southern Alps and glaciers is incredible reflecting onto the mirror-like water. Free photos are included with each tour.

Boat Tours & Fishing

Join us on a comfortable - fully covered tour boat designed for the west coast! Enjoy a personalized Scenic Cruise or Cruise & Guided Nature Walk to experience the best of the lake and learn about the area & its wildlife. Or try your luck at fishing on a salmon and trout fishing charter.

Off-Road Quad Bike Tour

Experience the thrill of riding a single or double quad bike, or buggy through the Jurassic rainforest and glacial riverbed! On a clear day enjoy views of the Franz Josef Glacier or as we like to say, 'The wetter the better' – come and join us for the best fun you can have in the rain in Franz Josef!
