Cruise Te Anau



Last summer I took a 3 hour cruise on Lake Te Anau with Peter Kirker on the 'Carousel.' On board were four others including 2 children whom were spending a couple of days in Te Anau, taking time out after the fast pace of Queenstown.


It was a warm summer afternoon and we cruised slowly up the lake to the dome islands at the head of the South Fiord, where we took a short easy walk into the Hidden Lakes. Peter guided us on the walk explaining all the different plants and birdlife (amongst other things) that we found on the way. Once arriving at the lake we saw trout jumping making rings in the still, calm waters.


Back at the boat we enjoyed a cuppa and a muffin whilst watching the kids jump into the lake before heading home. I loved this trip, not only a fabulous afternoon in the sun but I learnt a lot and met some incredible people.


This trip is priced at only $80 per adult and only $20 per child!


Other excursions are overnight cruises, weddings, private charters, flight options and the Milford and Kepler track connections.
