Activities
Te Anau is the perfect base for exploring Fiordland’s wild beauty — whether you’re here for epic scenery, outdoor adventures, or a peaceful lakeside escape. We’d be thrilled to assist you in selecting and booking the perfect activities for your stay!
Milford Sound
No trip to Te Anau is complete without a visit to Milford Sound. Cruise beneath towering peaks, waterfalls, and spot dolphins, seals, and penguins along the way. Enhance your experience with a bus tour for a relaxing and scenic journey along the spectacular route (pick up from The Croft).
Doubtful Sound
Quieter and more remote, Doubtful Sound offers breathtaking, untouched wilderness. Join a guided day cruise and soak up the deep stillness and dramatic scenery.
Te Anau Glowworm Caves
Take a short cruise across the lake to explore twisting limestone passages lit by thousands of glowworms — a magical experience for all ages.
Lake Te Anau
Relax by the water, cycle along the lake, rent a kayak, or hop on a scenic boat cruise on the historic ship “Faith”. The lake is perfect for quiet moments or light adventure, right on your doorstep.
Te Anau Township
Te Anau may be surrounded by nature, but the township itself has plenty to offer. Stroll along the charming main street and you’ll find a variety of cafes and restaurants serving everything from hearty breakfasts to gourmet dinners. Browse local shops for unique souvenirs, quality outdoor gear, or a last-minute treat.
