WAIRAURAHIRI RIVER USERS

It is advised that for the purposes of safety of all river users that you make your intentions to navigate the Wairaurahiri River known to all other users of this river.

You can do this by either filling in the intentions book held on the foreshore of the Teal Bay hut, or by phoning the commercial jet boat companies directly.

This boat trip was every penny worth it! It is a 6 hours trip over the deepest lake in New Zealand and then down the Wairaurahiri river with a few stops a long the way.

We were able to spot a deer and learned about the protection work in the Fiordland areas. We were stunned by the BBQ venison lunch down at the Waitutu Lodge, Johan is a really good host and cook. We had a marvellous time and would highly recommend their tour!

Especially if you're not keen on crowded and busy places. The river tour has everything New Zealand nature has to offer.

 

The journey was an experience of NZ untouched, with beautiful vistas of Mountains, water river rapids and still lake in silence.

Johanus delivered the service at exactly the right pitch of knowledge, friendliness and professionalism.

The birthday cake was thoughtful as well as coordinating a helicopter experience that happened by chance.
