★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 165 reviews · from $102Our pick

Cruise Lake Te Anau on the historic Faith, then take a guided Fiordland walk with live commentary and afternoon tea, max 16.

“We had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon cruising Lake Te Anau on the Faith. The crew were friendly, welcoming and attentive to all 12 passengers on our cruise. We sailed across the lake to some mound islands in an arm of Lake Te Anau where we had a very pleasant buffet tea. Later we went on a walk through the forest to the Hidden Lake with a highly informative commentary by one of the crew. On the way back we enjoyed a period of steering the boat whilst under sail. This was our second cruise on The Faith in four years and it won't be the last.”

“The walk from Sandfly Point was great though had to take our boots off and wade through a few big streams as it had rained a lot the previous few hours. Beautiful rainforest and waterfalls. Would have liked to have been able to see a bit more of the river which was in full flow! The cruise was informative and the landscape beautiful. Great commentary.”
