Journey across Lake Mapourika and enjoy exclusive access to a private rainforest trail through the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary.

Discover the true beauty of the West Coast in a personalised scenic cruise on Lake Mapourika.  The Jurassic rainforest fringed bays which reflect the surrounding Alps and Glaciers will leave you in awe of its beauty.

Dale, your knowledgeable skipper (owner & operator) has been passionately guiding in the region for the last 15 years, from glacier guiding on the Franz Josef Glacier to guiding eco tours on the West Coast’s Lake Mapourika!  He’ll take you on a journey, through the Rowi Kiwi Sanctuary & much more.  Enjoy a great cup of tea or coffee while you watch curious native birdlife in the surrounding rainforest shoreline.  You might even get lucky and spot one of the region’s legendary locals – the White Heron.

Lake Mapourika’s scenic cruises are a landscape photographer’s dream!

Step off the boat and into a Jurassic rainforest that feels like another world!

The track you’ll follow on the nature walk was carved by your skipper Dale & his team with care, taking effort to keep the area as untouched as possible.  On this eco-tour you will experience the old growth rainforest in its pristine state!  This is some of Westland’s oldest untouched rainforest full of abundant birdlife – including white herons and native bush birds.

The Cruise & Nature Walk is a premium West Coast experience, suitable for all ages.
