Why do we include water activities in our tours?

Kayaking on the West Coast Special tour

Because we love them - here's why and why you should try it too!


Serene moments on the multi activity tour



Water activities offer a unique perspective, letting you experience the landscape from a completely new viewpoint, often inaccessible if you're only travelling on foot or by bike (we're not even talking about cars here). 






connect with nature


Gliding over the water gives you a feeling of freedom and connection with nature that's hard to beat.

It's a great way to escape the hectic everyday life and immerse yourself in nature. It's a beautiful way to connect with nature, experience new adventures, and stay active.






Water also provides a calm and relaxing environment. There's something special about the silence and serenity that sets it apart. Watching animals, exploring remote coves, or discovering hidden waterways are unique experiences that make water such an attractive destination.



On our West Coast Special Tour, you can experience this for yourself. We partner with Franz Josef Wilderness Tours because we believe - and know from personal experience - that their 635 Google reviews and 4.9-star ratings don't lie.

Kayaking on Lake Mapourika


Lake Mapourika's calm water is located in a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it one of New Zealand's finest kayaking destinations.


Our promise: In double kayaks and with experienced guides, it's incredibly safe and relaxed – and great fun.



Water taxi ride to Mou Waho Island in Lake Wanaka


Jet Boat Tour on the Waiatoto River


We also included a water taxi ride to Mou Waho Island in Lake Wanaka and a jet boat tour on the Waiatoto River in the tour. But here too, it's not about thrills and loud screams; instead, nature and landscape take centre stage.




**More Info**

We offer several dates for the West Coast Special Tour per season, each limited to max 10 participants see our tour calendar for available options. On this 7-day long multi-activity tour we also enjoy a diverse range of walks – first in the beautiful Wanaka area, then we’ll explore all the best spots on the West Coast, followed by some time in the alpine Arthur’s Pass region.
