Overview

Get up close to New Zealand’s natural beauty on this scenic 3.5-hour Lake McLaren kayak tour. Paddle out onto the calm waters of Lake McLaren with your guide. Discover wildlife native to the region and gain insight into the habitat it calls home. Gaze up at sheer cliff faces towering overhead and enjoy panoramic views over the dense, sun-dappled woodland. Paddle along the tranquil lakeshore and through Mangapapa Canyon, where the water is as deep as the cliffs are high and the dense shrub forms caves along the water’s edge.

Response from Host, May 2023
Thanks Gail!
Rain or shine, do this trip
MICHAEL_W, Feb 2023
The ride up and back was easy and didn't take too much time. The lake is gorgeous and doing the trip in the rain seemed to add to the fun and beauty. The kayaks were great and no worries about tipping over at all. Would do again and again.
Response from Host, May 2023
Rain or Shine the weather is fine! We couldn't agree more! Some say the Glowworms even shine brighter in the rain!
