Dale, the owner & operator, has been passionately guiding in the region for the last 15 years, from glacier guiding on the Franz Josef Glacier to boat tours on the West Coast’s Lake Mapourika! He and his team of dedicated skippers will take you on a journey, a through scenic bays to discover the rich birdlife of Lake Mapourika. Savour a warm cup of tea or coffee while observing curious native birds in the lush rainforest shoreline. Keep an eye out for the legendary White Heron that feed on the lake.
There is the option to add a small nature walk onto your cruise. The nature walk follows a track thoughtfully carved by your skipper Dale and his team, ensuring minimal impact on the area.
