‘Something our guests always love about this wildlife cruise is the guides – they live there and know Okarito better than anyone else.’
Guests spend two hours exploring some of the 3000 hectares of waterways and on a cloudless day can see Franz Josef Glacier and the Southern Alps, including Aoraki / Mount Cook reflecting in the lagoon.
The scenery on the cruise changes from tidal flats and reeds to rainforest plants and then a thick forest of rimu, rata and kahikatea upriver. A maximum of 12 clients are on board.
