Discover the beauty of Lake Te Anau on a two-hour Discovery Cruise with Cruise Te Anau. Just 10 minutes after leaving the Te Anau lakefront, you’ll be cruising into a freshwater fiord with a small group—experiencing the dramatic gateway to one of Fiordland’s most pristine wilderness areas.

Enjoy breathtaking mountain views within Fiordland National Park before stepping ashore for a gentle 15-minute guided nature walk through native beech forest to the beautiful Hidden Lakes. Kids have plenty of fun exploring the track and discovering the plants, mushrooms and wildlife along the way.

Back onboard, cruise past waterfalls and dramatic landscapes while surrounded by peaceful, untouched scenery. This relaxed, off-the-beaten-track adventure offers a unique Fiordland experience without the crowds or a long day of travel.

Perfect for families, photographers and anyone wanting an accessible taste of Fiordland’s wilderness—right from Te Anau’s doorstep.
