Waterfall Adventure
Step aboard for a journey through history and discover one of Fiordland’s original tourist destinations. Our 3-hour cruise takes you to the end of South Fiord to reach Gorge Falls, offering you the chance to experience one of the very first tourist boat rides in Fiordland – a heritage adventure that remains as spectacular today as it was for those pioneering visitors.
Located right on Te Anau’s doorstep, this remarkable cruise eliminates the lengthy drives required for other fiord experiences. Just a 10-minute boat ride from town, you’ll find yourself immersed in pristine fiordland scenery with towering walls, cascading waterfalls, and untouched wilderness. No long travel times, no crowded tour buses – just pure Fiordland magic within easy reach.
The highlight of your journey is the remote Gorge Falls, accessible via a gentle 5-minute walk through native forest. This spectacular waterfall, tucked away in one of Fiordland’s most pristine corners, offers the perfect blend of accessibility and adventure. After exploring the falls, settle in for a leisurely cruise back through South Fiord, where you’ll have time to absorb the dramatic landscape and discover multiple waterfalls cascading down the steep fiord walls.
Experience Fiordland as it was meant to be discovered – from the water, at a relaxed pace, with the convenience that makes this pristine wilderness accessible to all. This is where Fiordland tourism began, and it remains the most authentic way to connect with this extraordinary landscape.

Chris and Erica aren’t just boat drivers – they’re proper locals who know every story, every hidden corner, and exactly when to point out the best bits. They’ll share tales about the early explorers who first ventured into these waters, fill you in on the Māori history, and explain why this whole area became a World Heritage site. Plus, they’re pretty good at spotting the local wildlife too.
The beauty of this quick cruise is that every minute counts. While you’re taking in those incredible lake views and watching the landscape change from peaceful Te Anau waters to wild Fiordland wilderness, your guide’s timing their stories perfectly so you don’t miss anything good.

Fly & Cruise Combo – The Ultimate Fiordland Adventure
Want to see Fiordland from every angle? This is the big one – a proper adventure that’ll have you experiencing Te Anau’s wilderness both from the water and way up in the sky. It’s three hours of pure Fiordland magic that finishes with something pretty special – a floatplane ride that’s the only one of its kind in the South Island.
Start your journey with an intimate cruise deep into South Fiord’s pristine wilderness. We’re talking spectacular mountains, ancient rainforests, and scenery that’ll have you reaching for your camera every few minutes. But here’s where it gets even better – we’re not just keeping you on the boat.
Hop off for a gentle guided nature walk to some hidden lakes that most people never get to see. It’s the perfect chance to stretch your legs, breathe in that crisp Fiordland air, and get up close with the native bush. Your guide will point out the local flora and share stories about this incredible ecosystem while you wander through landscapes that feel like they’re straight out of a fantasy movie.
Then comes the grand finale that’ll have you grinning from ear to ear.
Time to see everything from above! You’ll soar back to Te Anau in our floatplane, getting a bird’s eye view of Lake Manapouri and all those hidden gems you can only spot from the air. It’s the kind of experience that’ll have you texting everyone you know while you’re still up there.
Perfect for anyone who wants the full Fiordland experience without having to choose between being on the water or in the air. Why pick one when you can have both?
