This area needs to be seen from the water, and this is the best way to do it. The tour takes you through the fjord and points out all the highlights, and we even got to go all the way out to the Tasman Sea. Our guides were knowledgeable and so welcoming. They even found a tiny seal on the rocks that we stopped by to take photos of. Honestly the words don’t do this tour justice - just look at the photos. This incredible experience is not to be missed.Irene M

We parked in the free parking, and walked - it was only about 10-15 minutes. We bought food from the cafe in the information centre, which was lovely, hot and fresh. (There is no food available to buy at the terminal).Maggy_R

It was awesome, highly recommend! So many waterfalls, if you’re in the area it’s worth the drive from Queenstown, with a quick stop over in te anau!
