The trip moves at a pace that allows passengers to enjoy the natural environment and learn about the area's history, rather than focusing on speed. The tour includes safety equipment such as life jackets and spray coats, and cold weather gear like hats, gloves, and blankets are provided when needed. The journey features a guided walk on well-formed trails suitable for all fitness levels, with comfortable closed-toe shoes recommended. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. This small-group tour avoids crowds and lines, providing a personal and relaxed experience in Fiordland's remarkable wilderness.
Begin your tour at our office on the Lakefront of Te Anau with plenty of free parking and secure storage. Get fitted for a spray coat, life jacket and if needed any cold weather gear (hats, gloves, blanket). Next take a short ride through Southland farms to the Queens Reach Boat Ramp where you'll board the boat with ease thanks to convenient ramps. After a short safety brief it's time to hit the water! Travel down the Upper Waiau River with crisp Fiordland air rushing by, crystal-clear waters below and stunning views all around. Pause along the way to learn about the area and it's rich history, have some laughs, spot trout swimming just off the boat, re-imagine Lord of the Rings from 3 film locations and even listen to native birds as your driver quiets the engine for a spell. Enjoy plenty of photo opportunities plus high-speeds and spins - which are great fun for all! Emerge onto Lake Manapouri and embrace true silence while surrounded by towering mountains and a view that will leave you speechless. Disembark into the National Park for a short guided nature stroll among native flora and fauna. Jump back in the boat and head back up river for more FUN!
