What you can expect

  • Discover the true beauty of the West Coast in a personalised 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, our 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 scenic journey, through the Okarito 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.

    Book a morning tour to experience the magic of our mirror-lake reflections. Lake Mapourika is a landscape photographer’s dream!
