Horse and Carriage Tour Franz Josef / Waiau

Take a cruise on Lake Mapourika, the largest lake in Westland Tai Poutini National Park. The Hannah-K is purpouse built for the West Coast with a covered cabin area as well as outdoor viewing platforms. The viewing platforms allow us to get up close with some of Westland's native birdlife and lush ancient rainforest. Enjoy a tour through the beautiful mirrored estuaries of the stunning Okatarito Kiwi Sanctuary, home to NZ's rarest Kiwi Bird!

Enjoy commentary throughout the trip, from an experienced local guide. Learn about the unique environment that gives the region it's World Heritage Status. The tour follows in the footsteps of the first pioneers to visit the glacier region in the early 1900's. Tourists were transported by horse-drawn carriage to the lake, for wooden boat tours across the stunning venue.

Sit in silence, and listen to the Native Birds, and enjoy the same unbeatable scenery in it's pristine state!
