Beautiful! But cloudy

The travel time was excellent, the driver (Junior) is really funny and kind. The bus is really comfortable and it’s really necessary because it’s a long way. Unfortunately the weather there was really cloudy, but the place is beautiful anyway. I’ll come back there for sure but I’ll see the weather forecast first!

Mooie tocht

Trip geboekt vanaf Te Anau. Busreis enkel duurt dan 2 uur. Mooie boottocht en geluk met het regenweer. Hierdoor veel watervallen. Lunch prima en op de terugweg nog verschillende zeehonden gespot.

Seriously Stupendous …. Speechless!

Stan our driver was an amazing tour guide. The right blend of sharing info, jokes, moments of silence and taking care of us all. The crew looked after everyone on board. Lunch was a selection of fresh, fried and sweet with the chef on hand to restock when needed. Very informative leader on the boat. Stan kept great time and allowed us to have extra stops where needed to take awesome snaps of running waterfalls. Highly recommend this tour!
