Attractions

Located just 2 hours drive from Queenstown, Te Anau acts as the gateway to the stunning and world-famous region of Fiordland and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area. The township is nestled on the shores of spectacular Lake Te Anau, New Zealand’s second largest lake. The visitor friendly township, known as the ‘walking capital of the world’ acts as the ideal base to discover internationally renowned walking and hiking tracks including the Milford, Kepler & Routeburn. These can be walked independently or with an experienced Trips and Tramps guide who will provide fascinating commentary and entertaining kiwi stories.

Cruise, dive or kayak the remote and world renowned Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound, experience the magical glow worm caves of Te Anau with RealNZ or travel deep beneath the ground at Manapouri – New Zealand’s largest power station.

Experience a thrilling and informative jetboat tour up the Upper Waiau River which flows between Lake Te Anau and beautiful Lake Manapouri with Fiordland Jet and view 3 Lord of the Rings film locations of the River Anduin. View inaccessible, dense, rainforest covered mountains, with glacier carved valleys dropping away to form breathtaking fiords onboard a scenic flight with either Te Anau Helicopter Services or Fiordland Helicopters or have a go at spotting and flyfishing for trout with Fish Jet.
