Always wonderful.

After experiencing Faith’s cruises a number of times, it just gets better. Calm and relaxing with like minded people looking for the same Fiordland connection. It’s bliss. After the walk into a hidden lake, the canapés with tea or coffee is delicious. Thanks again to Faith’s crew.

Great way to spend a morning in Te Anau

Lovely experience. The boat is beautiful and the family running the tour were very friendly and informative. My son loved helping put up the sails and tie the boat to the dock. The morning tea was great. The short forest walk in the national park was stunning. Good value.

A lovely cruise!

A warm spring evening, great company, some wine and canapés. An interesting boat with a fascinating history told to us by the very personable and knowleablecaptain. If there were six stars available they would deserve it. I would highly recommend this trip.
