<p>They were killed in the incident at Lake Tekapo, in Canterbury, on South Island, the BBC reported.</p>
<p>The pair were said to have been hit by strong winds that tipped them into the water. Nine other people were rescued.</p>
<p>The names of the victims have not been released but local media said they were men in their 20s.</p>
<p>A Foreign Office spokesman said: “We can confirm the death of a British national in New Zealand on September 25. We are providing support to the family and are in contact with the New Zealand authorities.”</p>
<p>New Zealand Police confirmed in a statement that two overseas tourists had died.</p>
<p>“The two were members of a group of young people who hired kayaks for a trip on Lake Tekapo.</p>
<p>“They ran into difficulty after venturing out on the lake and being swamped after an easterly wind picked up to an estimated 20 knots.”</p>
<p>It added: “All survivors were suffering from hypothermia and a small number required hospitalisation at Timaru Hospital. An investigation will take place, looking at the reasons this tragedy occurred.”</p>
