Highlights of the Trip

1

Milford Sound Nature Cruise

Experience the full scale of Fiordland from the water as you cruise beneath towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and rainforest-draped walls.

2

Key Summit Scenic Walk

A rewarding short hike on the Routeburn Track that leads to panoramic mountain views, reflective tarns, and a showcase of Fiordland’s unique alpine ecosystems.

3

Kepler Heli-Hike Adventure

Fly high into the Kepler Mountains for an unforgettable alpine landing, ridge-top views, and a scenic descent through pristine beech forest to Lake Te Anau.

4

Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise

Spend a full day exploring one of New Zealand’s most remote and peaceful fjords — a deep, silent landscape of waterfalls, wildlife, and dramatic glacial valleys.

A premium, private adventure through the heart of Fiordland — designed for travellers who want the perfect balance of iconic highlights, alpine excitement, and deep wilderness stillness.

This flexible 4-day journey brings together the very best of Fiordland: Milford Sound’s world-famous fjords, the panoramic Key Summit walk, an unforgettable Kepler heli-hike, and a full-day cruise on the remote, serene Doubtful Sound. Each day blends adventure and comfort, with your private guide tailoring the pace, stops, and interpretation to match your interests.

Based in Te Anau, this trip offers the luxury of slow mornings, curated experiences, and the feeling of being fully immersed in Aotearoa’s most dramatic natural landscapes — without the pressure of a fixed group schedule.

Fiordland weather can change quickly, even in summer. Please bring comfortable hiking clothing and enough warm layers to stay dry and protected throughout the day. You’ll also want some comfortable clothing for relaxing at your hotel in the evenings.

Warm mid-layer (fleece or lightweight puffer)
