Bookme ReviewFranz Josef - 3 Hour Kayak ClassicPosted by lisah52 from New Zealand on 20 Apr 2024

  • lisah52 said... Without a doubt, having a clear, calm morning made for a super stunning experience. The lake was a like a mill pond, nary a zephyr to ripple the mirror like surface which clearly reflected back the surrounding bush, hills and snow sprinkled mountains - it really was like in the picture! Our group easily paddled across the lake to Echo Bay - with a fund display of how the place was named - and up a bush fringed creek as far as practical. As all aside from the two guides were in double kayaks, consideration needed to be given for space to manoeuvre the lengthy craft around, to get back down. While not absolutely necessary, having some previous kayaking experience helps, and doing the tour with someone you've also kayaked with before is a bonus - it pays to be in sync to make headway, successfully. Our guides were out-going, helpful for those who were not so experienced and provided good info about the lake, flora and fauna - especially in regards to the Rowi Kiwi concersation programme. They took heaps of great pix of the group, individual shots and as well collectively paddled across the waters. So you do come away with a good selection to show others, to go with your own happy memories of the experience.
