Franz Josef Wilderness Tours is one of the most scenic kayak locations on planet earth!.
Enjoy a 3 hour kayaking tour in Franz Josef Glacier.
Join us on a unique kayak adventure and kiwi sanctuary tour, just minutes from Franz Josef Glacier!
Glide effortlessly across the lakes mirror-like water, enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding high mountains and glaciers. Our stunning lake was created by the mighty Franz Josef Glacier as it retreated some 14,000 years ago.
Now it sits calm and reflective, sandwiched between the mountains and the sea. At the back of the lake, we navigate our kayaks deep into the heart of the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary.
Paddle silently past some 900-year-old kahikatea trees, all to the sound of native birdsong.
Franz Josef Wilderness Tours is locally owned and operated, so like true west coasters, we'll get out there rain or shine!

Great trip
We booked the classic kayak tour but unfortunately, this was fully booked for the time and date of it. However, the company upgraded us to the kayak tour with the okarito kiwi sanctuary and it was brilliant. The tour guide Jacob was so friendly and knowledgeable. Great tour!

Fantastic experience
The whole family enjoyed the 3 hour classic kayaking experience. The scenary was beautiful and it was the first time we kayak in a black water lake. Cool! Our guide was friendly and took many beautiful photos for us. Thank you! Highly recommended tour.

Couldn't say anything bad, fantastic experience, instructor was outstanding, beautiful scenery and reasonably easy for 2 pretty unfit people! Love to do it again sometime.

Amazing Experience
Brilliant guide and amazing experience. Totally recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy nature from a lake perspective Location is breath taking, both on the lake and down the little side creek. Will be looking at doing other adventures with these guys next time I'm back in Franz
