Why Fiordland Expeditions

With over 20 years experience in running cruises throughout Fiordland the team at Fiordland Expeditions have evolved cruise experiences that meet our clients needs.

Our Doubtful Sound overnight cruises have become very popular with discerning travelers looking for an exceptional experience. As we cruise and take in the amazing scenery we encounter seals, dolphins, penguins and seabirds; all whilst taking in the awesome vistas of mountains so steep and high on waters so deep and still.

You get to catch your own dinner whilst the crew dive for lobster; and when the kai is gathered and the day is closing we find a serene backdrop for you to kayak and get close up for an intimate exploration of what Fiordland has on offer.

And while you explore our team will be preparing the catch of the day and our chef creates delectable delights with aromas that will have you salivating and satiate your appetite.

Or

If your quest is to journey through an ancient land where man’s influence has been so minimalistic you can imagine him not having been here yet; then a multi-day charter of discovery through some of the many fjords taking in the natural environment. Maybe visit some of the earliest settlements of both European and Maori origin. Places where Capt. Cook spent time discovering what Fiordland has on offer, where he met the local Maori, where sealers set up camps and built boats; establishing some of the earliest settlements in New Zealand.

Or

If you want to tick off that bucket list challenge of hunting big red, catching monster crays, landing your first blue fin tuna; all whilst enjoying the naturalness of nature where phones don’t work and you experience solitude…

then Fiordland Expeditions can tailor a trip that will send you home feeling relaxed yet excited and will change you outlook on what is possible.
