Today we are hitting Lake Mapourika to do some kayaking at Franz Josef Glacier! We meet up with the team at Glacier Country Kayaks in Franz Josef who then transport us and all the kayaking gear to Lake Mapourika.
After gearing up and getting a paddling lesson, we hit the waters of the super reflective Lake Mapourika. Along the way, our guide, Dale, is telling us about the fascinating geological history of Lake Mapourika which was formed by Franz Josef Glacier. We are also heading to the side of the lake with the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary. Here we learn about the rare kiwi bird species that live in the area.
We also explore narrow creeks, kayak under ancient towering New Zealand forest, and watch eels swimming in the clear water. Kayaking on Lake Mapourika is just one of the great things to do in Franz Josef. What’s more, the reflection is so vivid it makes Lake Mapourika one of the New Zealand mirror lakes.
After kayaking around Lake Mapourika, we return to our start point and head back to Franz Josef for our final night here.
So what do you think of Kayaking at Franz Josef Glacier? Is it a kayaking tour in New Zealand you would take?
