Fiordland Historic Cruises

Wow, just back from the Evening Cruise, what a stunner. Awesome Crew, so lovely, best ever.The history of the ship 'Faith' amazing and well told. The drinks and canapés were delicious and hit the spot.Highly recommend the Evening Cruise. The weather was great, the company perfect, the Crew just the best, you guys 'rocked'. Best Cruise ever. Ngā mihi for a most enjoyable evening, will never forget it.

We had the most amazing evening cruise yesterday. George and Adam are so kind and friendly and make your trip a most memorable event. Faith is beautiful and we had drinks and canapés anchored out from Broid Bay and George gave us a very informative talk about her history from when she was launched in 1935 in Scotland. If you are in Te Anau I absolutely recommend this excusion.

Very relaxing cruise on a beautiful lake. Excellent service and commentary. Also a delightful stroll through native bush to a hidden lake

My partner and I went on the explorer cruise. It was just us two which made it very special. The faith itself is a pure beauty and both the co owner George and skipper Marie were very knowledgeable about her. It was interesting learning about her history. The service was absolutely amazing and we both felt very relaxed and welcome. The cruise included drinks and food which was great. We also got to take a walk in the fiords with George to the hidden lakes. Overall, the view, walk, sail and service were top notch and I would highly recommend this cruise.

I honestly couldn’t speak more highly of this experience. We did the afternoon cruise and it was amazing! Crew were super friendly and down to earth, the boat was so cool, the views were above and beyond what I had expected. The crew had great knowledge of the history of the boat and the local area but didn’t overwhelm you with it at all. So so so scenic and I would for sure recommend this or do it again myself! Don’t snooze on this activity. Get out and do it!!!

I have seen some sights, been to most every place in New Zealand in my 67 Years. Made some great decisions and a few poor ones but over the weekend i made a cracker of a choice. My wife and I booked a 3 hour Cruise on Lake Te Anau.It is a trip I will remember for the rest of my life.Built in 1930 in Scotland it eventually made its way to New Zealand. With loving owners it made its way from the Salt to the Fresh water of the magnificent Lake Te Anau.At a very reasonable price we were all treated to complimentary Wine, Beer and Hot drinks. A Nature Guided Walk and a lovely afternoon tea. George gave an informative talk and as the wind was kind raised the sails. As we sailed back to the Wharf there was another surprise in store. But hey you need to do the cruise to find out what that is.

This was a great trip.TBH I wasn't that excited (been on a few 'boats' recently), however I am very glad to have gone on this yacht cruise.Much less crowded than other boats, excellent local info, and above what I expected on service.Then there is the amazing views available (understandably, this is New Zealand).Loved the walk - very secluded NZ bush, green, alive, growth-everywhere (camera couldn't do it justice). Walk was short (and I had limited time), however the drop points do offer longer walks - may have to return to attempt these. Bring sturdy shoes.Drink was on tap, food was lovely.Liked the boat tour and sail set up (even for a non boat person was interesting). crew knew their stuff.Recommended.

Fantastic day , amazing boat with loads of history , you can learn about all its changes in its almost 100 years of service, the crew are so knowledgeable and talented plus oodles of wine and food and unforgettable scenery, i would rate 10 if i could and cant wait to return.

Excellent experience, absolutely loved the cruise and the crew were fantastic. We did the afternoon cruise and it was so relaxing.After leaving Te Anau we were offered a drink from an extensive selection, including sparkling wine (which of course I went for).We cruised around the lake before anchoring for a picnic on the water - some delicious canapés and another drink,We then continued our way, passing a lovely waterfall and then docking for a bush walk. The walk was a definite highlight, the forest was so beautiful and we were lucky to see several birds. Jenny was also excellent at explaining what we were seeing and giving us loads of information about the local wildlife.I thought the cruise would take 3hr but we ended up getting back to Te Anau at 6pm (after a 2pm start). For the price, its excellent value for money. Would highly recommend
