Over the summer months, choose the Sunset Classic for a peaceful evening paddle under the soft colours of the West Coast sky.\nUpgrade to the Kayak & Walk and step ashore onto a private, custom-built rainforest track that's accessible only by water and used exclusively by Franz Josef Wilderness Tours. Wander beneath towering kahikatea and rimu, some over 1,200 years old, and enjoy a hot drink from a scenic lookout along the way.\nThere's no experience needed. Lake Mapourika's calm, sheltered waters are perfect for first-time paddlers, families and couples (children aged 3&ndash;17 must be accompanied by an adult), and all kayaking gear, life jackets, dry bags and wet weather gear are provided. Your guide will even take free photos throughout the tour and email them to you afterwards.\nWith more than 4,000 five-star reviews and 20+ years of local experience, Franz Josef Wilderness Tours is one of New Zealand's highest-rated kayak operators, and like true West Coasters, they head out rain or shine.\nDeparts from: 30 Main Road, Franz Josef Glacier (beside the Landing Bar & Restaurant).\n$119 for Three-Hour Kayak Classic or Sunset Classic for One Adult\n$74 for Three-Hour Kayak Classic or Sunset Classic for One Child (3–17 years)\n$135 for Four-Hour Kayak & Walk for One Adult\n$86 for Four-Hour Kayak & Walk for One Child (3–17 years)","@type":"Product","offers":{"price":"119.00","priceCurrency":"NZD","availability":"https://schema.org/InStock","url":"https://new.grabone.co.nz/activities-events-outdoors/kayaking/p/franz-josef-wilderness-26","priceValidUntil":"2026-12-22","validFrom":"2026-10-22T11:00:00Z","validThrough":"2027-01-21T10:59:59Z","go_is_discounted":true,"go_value":"159.00","go_discount":25,"go_purchase_count":0,"max_price":135,"go_limit_per_user":10,"go_gift_limit_per_user":10,"go_value_formatted":"$159","go_price_formatted":"$119","@type":"Offer","seller":{"name":"Franz Josef Wilderness Tours","show":true,"location":{"name":"South Island","geo":{"latitude":"-43.3875927","longitude":"170.1819766","@type":"GeoCoordinates"},"@type":"Place","go_address_html":"<address>\r\n<p>30 Main Road, <br />Franz Josef Glacier</p>\r\n</address>","go_opening_hours_html":"Monday -
