Unwind during a scenic cruise across the mirrored Lake Mapourika and into the sheltered estuaries of the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary, before exploring the rainforest by foot. Be immersed in its ancient enchantment as you follow a custom-built trail, with many native bird encounters along the way.
Experience Mother Nature's brilliance as you cruise across the pristine waters of Lake Mapourika and into the remote estuaries of the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary. During the journey, you'll be treated to expansive vistas of snow-peaked mountains and glistening glaciers in the horizon. You'll then hop off the boat and begin the trail through this Jurassic-like rainforest along a custom-built track. Feel like you're worlds away as you enter into a green wonderland, brimming with towering trees and curious birdlife including the rarest kiwi on the planet - the Rowi. It is nothing short of magical!

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
