Wonderful experience
2hrs of best memorable big boat ride is just best thing in the whole trip. Parking is quite costly with $10/hr. Overall a great experience and must do in a lifetime. It takes 2h15m from Te Anau. Back to queenstown take 4h 15min. I would suggest to stay in Te Anau so that it reduce lot of travel in a day.
