Epic Manapouri
Discover Fiordland by land, air and water: it’s the ultimate Fiordland experience.
A scenic helicopter flight, jet boat ride, picnic lunch and guided or unguided walk along the Kepler Track. What more could you want?
Make the very most of your Manapouri tour and Fiordland adventure by jet boat, heli, and foot. Immerse yourself deep in endless views with a thrilling Te Anau jet boat ride down the majestic Waiau River. Lined by ancient beech forests found deep in Middle Earth, you’ll twist and turn down the river before emerging into the tranquil Lake Manapouri.
From there, you’ll board the heli and see the world from above as you fly over hidden lakes and spectacular peaks. Touch down on Mt Luxmore, then lace up your walking shoes for a 3.5-hour walk either guided or unguided along a portion of the Kepler Track, one of New Zealand’s Great Walks. If you decided on our guided option, your knowledgeable guide will share the stories of your surroundings along this beautiful trail. Discover Fiordland forests, unique wetlands and an authentic Kiwi tramping hut along this famous Manapouri walk.
Note: We may decide to swap the hike, scenic flight and jet boat on the day if weather and operating conditions require. Please bring comfortable walking shoes, a waterproof jacket, warm clothing (including hat and gloves), sunscreen, sunhat, a camera if desired and personal medication if required. Full payment is required if cancelled within 48 hours of departure.
