The boat ride was very relaxing and didn't take long. We could stay in the main cabin or go out on the decks. When we got to the caves, we were broken into small groups and taken through the caves to see fish and eels in the water, and learn of the glowworm cycle. Tea and coffee was provided when... More

We had a relaxing cruise and the scenery was fantastic . Peter, the owner operator, provided great insight on the environment and the local situation. This is a very personal cruise experience and Peter is a great host with a lovely boat. We highly recommend this cruise. More

We had a lovely time with Peter on the cruise. We would definitely recommend this for people looking for a more unique and customized boat tour experience over the larger, mass-market operations. Peter is very attentive and willing to personalize the service so that the tour is flexible and not held to a strict schedule or time limit at various... More

My family arranged this trip as part of a whirlwind 7 day driving tour of the South Island. We had a wonderful few hours with our host Peter who was just a mine of information. The scenery was amazing and with the boat only accommodating smaller groups you really have a chance to ask as many questions as you wish... More

We stumbled upon a great alternative to Milford and Doubtful Sound while in Te Anau - we had already toured Milford Sound and Doubtful was booked so on a beautiful February day, we contacted Peter of Cruise Te Anau and arranged a tour to the South Fiord on Lake Te Anau - it was a very pleasant surprise. Peter, our... More

My husband and I recently traveled to several areas on the South Island of New Zealand. We arrived in Te Anau in the afternoon and had nothing planned for that particular day. We saw a sign for Cruise Te Anau and decided we'd give it a try. We were so glad we did! The boat was lovely and spacious and... More
