Float the Rainforest Jungle Boat Cruise

A relaxing cruise by Jungle Boat amongst the primeval giants of our rain forests.

In the traditions of our early explorers by Jungle Boat you will follow the route of Te Ara Pounamu-the greenstone pathway. This is part of the trail used by ancient Maori greenstone jade traders on their way to the West Coast jade fields.

This gentle float trip through some of the worlds most hauntingly beautiful scenery teaches you about how we preserve the delicate balance between one of natures oldest ecosystems and today's modern use of this environment. Here you can experience absolute silence which may be broken by the occassional bird call.

Touch this silence while drifting by the prehistoric world of huge podocarp rainforest trees, the home of this diverse range of birds. The dark waters are tinged with tannin from the rainforest giving you an eerie feeling of timelessness.

Enjoy a cup of manuka bush tea, glass of wine or fruit juice as you learn about the life and legends of the native Maori People who live in this area.
As you float silently by this prehistoric world we will meet some of the astounding bird life that has made this their home for many centuries. Being part of this seldom visited forestland waterway imparts the visitor with a sense of rejuvenation and timelessness along with an understanding of the short time that mankind has been a part of this planet.

You will leave with a sense of rejuvenation from your visit with nature today.
