This special area of Fiordland really is a boating paradise. With its stunning scenery and plethora of options, Fiordland really is one of those places that you can explore, fish or cruise about at your leisure and the area is expansive enough to feel that you and your crew have the place to yourself! There are numerous, lakes, rivers, bays and coastal spots to enjoy. Here at Fiordland National Park and Lone Moose Backpackers, we are right on the lake at Te Anau Downs and the boat ramp is just down the road.
Launching here arguably offers you the best boating experiences on the lake as it starts you off closer to the middle and north fiords and all the interesting spots at the top of the lake. Much easier to stay with us and launch from here and make the most of what’s on offer! Lake Te Anau is a beautiful lake to explore with many special sports just waiting to be discovered. There is also Lake Manapouri, Lake Monoawi and Lake Hauroko further south. Milford Sound also offers fantastic boating experiences. Whether you have your own boat or want to go with organised group, whether are on a power boat or yacht, whether you plan to be out for a few hours or few days, there really is something for everyone. Talk to our friendly staff and they can book any boating experience that meets your needs or point you in the right direction with your own boat.
