What a fantastic morning on the lake and hike. Max was our guide and he was great. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and humorous, He was never in a rush, answered all or questions, and had lots of stories of the history of the area and it's wildlife. To top it all off he even made us coffee, and tea while we sat on the edge of the lake before our paddle back home. I would highly recommend this adventure!

Farrah, Marcel, and Rowi were wonderful! They communicated clearly and helped with all the gear available to keep dry. They figured out ways to address all issues with docking for the walk, since the usual landing was flooded. Taking pictures throughout the adventure as well as serving a cup of hot chocolate after the hike were extra special. We had a great time. Thank you

Our guide Farrah was brilliant. She was knowledgeable and very engaging. The weather was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. We were the only people on this trip so it was great to have such a personalised experience.

Max of Wilderness Tours is an extremely knowledgeable guide. He and his colleague were lucid in their instructions, engaging in their conversations and helpful in every aspect of the kayaking and nature walk. Had a wonderful time at this beautiful lake of Mapourika. Highly recommended

We had a superb morning kayaking on Lake Mapourika. There were only two of us on our tour so I initially thought it might be awkward but the tean leading the trip were super friendly and welcoming and really did their best to make the day special for us. Ollie, who led the group, was a superb guide. He was really involved throughout the kayaking and walking tour and his passion for plants, wildlife and New Zealand life really shone through. The trail through the forest was excellent and we encountered so many cool plants and unique features of the Okarito forest. And thanks to Ollie’s superb insights we learned loads on our trip. We were extremely lucky to go kayaking on a beautiful sunny and clear morning so we had wonderful reflections on the lake and great views of the glaciers behind us. And we were lucky to see a white heron twice in the morning. Overall would recommend this activity and a big shout out to Ollie and everyone else on the team who made it into a fun morning for the two of us.

WOW! Our first time seeing snow and this is how we experience it. The lake was amazing, our guide was knowledgeable on the area which made our hike even more enjoyable. The nature we smelt, saw and touched was like it had never had contact with humans before. Defiant recommend this experience.

Went kayaking on a beautiful lake that reflected the mountains and clouds like a mirror. Hiked through a lush and peaceful forest listening to bird song. Dale made sure everyone was safe. This adventure is highly recommended.
