The slightly quieter winter months of May - August in Franz Josef, on the West Coast of the South Island, allowed for the team at Franz Josef Wilderness Tours to undertake some key product developments.
Nature Walkway Improvements: As part of the kayaking trip or scenic boat cruise on Lake Mapourika, FJWT offers a guided, short nature walk on land accessible from the water. Improvements include new steps and handrails to assist walkers. The track is suitable for walkers with a moderate level of fitness.
Shared Fishing: After careful consideration, FJWT is pausing the shared fishing product in favour of ‘Cruise & Cast’ for groups of up to 10 pax – a relaxed Kiwi afternoon/evening of boating, BBQing, trolling and enjoying the lake. The pause is temporary, to allow the fishery to replenish.
