• 5Rain or shine, completely divine

  As it's said, there is no bad weather, only inadequate equipment. Bearing that in mind, our group paddled to the hike site in the pouring rain, well protected from the elements. The views of the mountains surrounding the lake were ethereal in the misty rain, and the kayak trip was smooth and pleasant. On the walk, we saw a profusion of temperate rainforest plants, along with a number of native birds. Our guide, Max, was not only extremely knowledgeable, but also a phenomenal communicator. From start to finish, this was an amazing experience. I'm so glad I did it!

• 3Beautiful scenery, but a rushed experience

  The Lake Mapourika kayaking and rainforest walk was the highlight of the experience — beautiful scenery and well worth seeing. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area. However, the kayaking felt rushed. While photos and videos were included in the package regardless of the weather, the majority of the photos were blurry. We also had to repeatedly ask the guide to take photos, and once the weather cleared, the guide paddled ahead to prepare for the next tour, so we missed the opportunity for better photos and lost valuable kayaking time as well.

About Franz Josef & Fox Glacier

Franz Josef and Fox are two glaciers on New Zealand's West Coast that flow from the Southern Alps almost into temperate rainforest.

The Franz Josef and Fox glaciers descend from the Southern Alps through steep valleys into lowland rainforest on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, ending only a few hundred metres above sea level. The two small townships, about twenty-five kilometres apart, sit in Westland Tai Poutini National Park, part of a UNESCO World Heritage area. Julius von Haast named Franz Josef in 1865 after the Austrian emperor.
