What are people saying about Lake Te Anau

Champagne Sightseeing Cruise on Lake Te Anau

William_G, Jan 2026

Relaxing evening Sail aboard the Faith

Was a Brillant cruise on the Scottish built sailboat faith with Megan and Adam. The boat is their love child and the history behind Faith is very interesting. The actual sailing around Lake Te Anau was nice and relaxing with some great nibbles and a nice red and champagne provided. If in Te Auau would highly recommend the cruise.

It’s was a wonderful...

It’s was a wonderful experience. My partner and I, didn’t know what to expect but even with small patches of glowworm clusters, it was breathtaking. The silent boat ride allowed you to really take in the scenery!

Glow worms

I was not expecting the glow of the worms to be like fiber optics but it is what it is. Cave was quite nice as well as the dark boat ride.

A great way to learn about Fiordland and Milford Sound

Our trip from Te Anau to Milford Sound was a highlight of our 3 weeks in NZ. Our guide, Mel, was informative and knowledgable regarding the Fiordland National Park and many of the features. The cruise on Milford Sound was also very enjoyable.
