Let us show you our backyard on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. The boat is surveyed for 150 passengers but we limit passenger numbers to 75 for an enhanced viewing experience. This guarantees your cruise will be uncrowded and gives our nature guides the opportunity to share their knowledge with you on a very personal level. As locals, we know all the secret spots. During the cruise, we stop at several points of interest like the Hanging Gardens, the Fairy and Stirling Falls, and local seal colonies. Relax with complimentary coffee, tea, and biscuits and enjoy the skipper’s commentary while marveling at the breathtaking scenery.

The smaller size of the vessel enables us to get you up close and personal with the local wildlife like New Zealand Fur Seals, dolphins, and the very rare Fiordland Crested Penguin (spring/early summer). A “Glacial Facial” under the Sterling Falls is an experience not to be missed. Guests are more than welcome to bring their own snacks and drinks along for the cruise.
