Okarito Lagoon Boat Tours

Okarito offers nature, bird and eco enthusiasts tremendous diversity – from the wild beaches of the Tasman Sea to the pristine Okarito Lagoon and wetlands and towering rainforest

Discover the rainforest on a small and personalized boat tour exploring the magnificent and untouched serenity of New Zealand’s largest unmodified wetland, over 3000 hectares and part of the South Westland World Heritage area.

The open air boat allows a total sensory experience with 360 degree views as you drift quietly amongst feeding birds including the graceful Kotuku – Great White heron, Royal Spoonbills, the intrepid godwits from Siberia and Alaska, the leggy Pied Stilts, and many others.

The towering Southern Alps, Mount Cook and Mount Tasman and Franz Josef Glacier make for a spectacular backdrop to the coastal and rainforest environment on clear days.
