Had good weather. Whole lagoon was mirroring the sky. Paid $55 for the whole day.

Great fun, stunning views of the Southern Alps, visited during mid November so plenty to wading birds still about! Great fishing spot.

This is a cruise around the lagoon rather than seeing the breeding ground. Its a bit cheaper and you see plenty of Kotuku/white herons. We were the only people on the boat-great.

Hired a double kayak for 4 hours (1/2 day). The staff at Okarito Nature Tours were incredible friendly, making sure we knew what we were doing and felt comfortable out on the water. We had a great morning paddling around the lagoon seeing herons, shags, kingfishers, and an Australasian bittern. We had plenty of time to paddle all three of the marked trails, birdwatching along the way. Would definitely recommend getting out on the water early though as the wind definitely picked up in the afternoon and made the paddle home a bit harder. The free coffee/tea back at the office afterwards was a great touch!

Pay to hire kayaks for 1/2 day. Paddle through tranquil lagoons or go at night on the Kiwi spotting adventure. Saw my first kiwi in the wild!

A beautiful experience - kayaking through the peaceful lagoon, enjoying good views of the waterfowl and then, the best part - going along a small channel into the rainforest, full of birdsong and stunning trees and plants.
Highly recommended for all nature friends !
