Discover Boat Tours
New Zealand has more boats per capita than any other country on the planet and a trip to NZ is not complete without going on at least one boat tour. Some of the world’s most pristine lakes and dramatic oceans can be found in New Zealand, and there are few experiences more memorable than enjoying a boat ride on deep blue waters amidst a stunning backdrop of mountain peaks and majestic fjords. Boat tours are organised on a variety of vessels including steamboats, jet boats and motorboats. The TSS Earnslaw in Queenstown is another historic boat open to visitors for scenic cruises and was commissioned on the same day as the Titanic.
Milford Sound offers a variety of boat tours ranging from 2 hour lunch time nature cruises to overnight experiences with private double rooms, dinner & breakfast and sea kayaking.
Of course if you are visiting the east coast of the south island of New Zealand then you simply have to include a trip out to see the whales in Kaikoura!
