4 hours of guided kayaking on Lake Mapourika plus a hike to the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary, with tea, gear, and emailed photos.
“Really enjoyed this experience! The views of the lake and the mountains in the background were sensational. The hike was also a unique experience and provided a chance to learn about the different native plants. I'd definitely recommend this! The only issue was a couple of organisational issues and lack of communication.”
