Meet Your Hosts.

We’re Chris and Erica, your certified skippers. We offer a ‘uniquely New Zealand’ experience, join us on one of our guided tours of Lake Te Anau.

We have two vessels, providing personally crafted adventures that are sure to give you an experience you will never forget. Whether you’re after a relaxing cruise or something a bit quicker we’ve got you covered.

We’ve both been on the water most of our lives, previously owning and operating Southern Express in Taranaki which serviced the oil and gas fields. Chris has worked all over the globe on a range of different vessels,
while Erica grew up in Auckland spending all her free time out on the Hauraki Gulf.

After 10 years on the Taranaki coastline we made the move to Te Anau to be closer to family and showcase this remarkable part of New Zealand.

This is the tour you want to do if you like personal and small-scale! Chris and Erika are open minded and want you to have the best and best time here in Te Anau. It felt so relaxed, everything was well organised. The authenticity and their personal touch made it an unforgettable experience!

My goodness where to start, for a memorable journey, for the ultimate kiwi experience and Southland adventure Cruise Te Anau I would highly recommend.  Best decision we could have made. Erica was awesome and kept us amused and informed with her commentary. Chris was delightful and knowledgeable as the boat driver. The scenery was magnificent, the weather perfect for a cruise through Fiordland. The bush walk was magical, and the paddle boarding was a self-rewarding experience. All I can say is it was the most fantastic amazing day ever!!!

Had a wonderful time cruising South Fiord with Erica and Chris. It was a very relaxing trip, about 3 hours long. We were able to get on shore and have a quick hike to Hidden Lakes. Would highly recommend to anyone.
