The Hanna-k is fully covered to keep you warm and dry in a weather conditions. You can even sit on the back viewing deck while remaining dry! 
Lake Mapourika holds equally beautiful qualities in the rain as it does on a bluebird day. On a drizzly day enjoy dramatic clouds sweeping over the Alps and a beautiful lush misty rainforest surrounding the lake. In the rain, this is a true west coast experience! We provide wet weather equipment for any walking tours during wet weather.

Enjoy a fun, scenic boat ride across Lake Mapourika to the sheltered far side, which&nbsp;boasts calm waters and a picturesque glacier and mountain backdrop.

&nbsp;

Hop off the boat and onto your SUP, where you can enjoy the spectacular vistas of the Southern Alps and Glaciers.&nbsp;Your guide will provide you with some expert SUP instruction before you&nbsp;follow them along a narrow estuary amidst lush native rainforest and into the heart of Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary.

&nbsp;

This sanctuary is home to New Zealand&#39;s rarest Kiwi, the rowi, with an estimated population of fewer than 500 birds. It&#39;s the only place you&#39;ll find this species and is exclusively accessed from the water &ndash; so keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Kiwi, as well as plenty of other bird species.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Once you&#39;ve finished exploring the calm waterways and&nbsp;untouched Jurassic rainforest, head back to the boat to enjoy the relaxing journey back across the lakes.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Best of all, you don&#39;t need any experience in SUP to join this unique and fun experience; however, you do need to be able to swim.&nbsp;
