Kayak, Dine, and Sleep Beneath Fiordland’s Starlit Sky
Anchored in a secluded cove, you can explore the area by kayak, tender boat, or take a refreshing swim if the weather allows. Back onboard, a three-course chef-prepared dinner is served in the saloon—paired with local wine and shared stories among fellow travellers.
As night falls, enjoy the serenity from the upper deck under a sky untouched by light pollution. After a restful night in your cabin, a cooked or continental breakfast fuels you for further morning exploration before the return journey to Queenstown—your soul refreshed by Fiordland’s wild beauty.
