Enjoy spacious indoor lounges, outdoor viewing decks and commentary from knowledgeable local nature guides as you cruise past Mitre Peak, Lady Bowen Falls, Stirling Falls, Seal Rock and Harrison Cove. Local food and drinks are available onboard, including barista coffee, craft beer and fresh refreshments, with possible sightings of New Zealand fur seals, dolphins and Fiordland crested penguins along the way.
