A unique kayak adventure, only minutes from Franz Josef Glacier! Set out across Lake Mapourika's mirror-like water and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding Southern Alps and Glaciers.

Lake Mapourika was created by the mighty Franz Josef Glacier as it retreated some 14 000 years ago, now it sits sandwiched between the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea. The glassy water and unbeatable views make it one of the scenic gems of the West Coast.

Explore a kiwi sanctuary set amidst some of the oldest untouched rainforest in Westland!

This tour lasts up to three hours and is designed to complete your Glacier Country Experience!

    Danny was our guide, she is wonderful. The kayak was one of the best that we have done in years. We have done a few but this one was unique. It was raining that day a I thought this was not going to be good, but then the water is warmer and as we reached the mirror river, things began to clear up, and it was so calm and beautiful. Because of the rain, the chopper were not flying so it was clam, quiet and beautiful. It was memorable. Thank you Dani for this experience.

  • A great family time on the water

    This kayak experience was fantastic. The lake was pristine and the rainforest backdrop was beautiful. Kurt, the guide was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and at only 21 years was a lovely & polite young man. He was able to answer all our questions about this area. We highly recommend this experience.

    It is a very nice experience. There was a breeze, so we had to kayak against the wind initially and I’m a pretty horrible kayaker and was kayaking with 11 year old, so the guide had to tow us. I was so thankful to the guide for the help. The lake itself is beautiful and you see a forest that is thousands years old. Learn about kiwis and conservation efforts. My only tip is for the parents: if you are coming with kids, ask for an adult kayak “skirt”. The kids version doesn’t protect against water and you end up with a super miserable kid, that sits in a puddle of freezing water for 2 hours. I wish I knew that, it would save us a lot of misery (for the kids).
