After experiencing Faith’s cruises a number of times, it just gets better. Calm and relaxing with like minded people looking for the same Fiordland connection. It’s bliss. After the walk into a hidden lake, the canapés with tea or coffee is delicious. Thanks again to Faith’s crew.
Lovely experience. The boat is beautiful and the family running the tour were very friendly and informative. My son loved helping put up the sails and tie the boat to the dock. The morning tea was great. The short forest walk in the national park was stunning. Good value.
Great experience, great team and above our expectation in regard to the service.
The trip was brilliant
