Attractions
Manapouri:
A gate way into one of the most beautiful World Heritage National
Parks. The rugged interior of Fiordland, its fiords and mountains,
its fast running rivers, beech rain forests, flora and mountain
birds certainly make it a place to experience and to explore. Lake
Manapouri - described as New Zealand’s most beautiful lake,
is edged by beaches just waiting to be walked on and explored. Walk
the old coach road just up from the beach, wander a little through
small trees then enjoy the smell of the moss and beech trees while
pondering some of the past names the Maoris called this place. Roto-ua,
(Rainy Lake) Moturau (Lake of Many Islands) or was it made from
the tears of the two sisters Moturau and Koronae, and then there
is the misspelling of names as well ... and Te Anau is just 15 minutes
away!
Circle Track: 3 1/2 hrs moderate walk. Take a boat across the
Waiau river from Manapouri's Pearl Harbour wharf. Enjoy walking
through the beech forest with may be little native birds for company.
See some of the lake’s islands or look to the mountains and
wonder at their valleys.
Kepler Track: To Shallow Bay or Motorau hut: Enjoy a little
of the Kepler Track. From Manapouri, it’s only 9 km to the
swing bridge that when crossed puts you right on to the forest track.
With the smell of the beech rain forest, the varying greens of the
ferns, the fungi, moss and birds, it’s a lovely walk or you
can rest at the little marsh lake to listen to the quiet sound of
nature at its best.
Milford Sound:
From Manapouri it’s approx. 2 1/4 hrs, if you don't stop to
Milford, but you will want to stop often. If you don't have the
time to cruise, still take the drive as the Milford Sound Highway
is one of the most scenic you will travel on. The scene is always
changing, from tree lined vista that opens up on to glacier plains
to the magic of the soaring mountains, the chasm, the many lakes
and pesky mountain birds.
Doubtful Sound: From Pearl Harbour cruise across Lake Manapouri
to the west arm power station, then by Scenic road for 22 km on
the Wilmot Pass Road to Doubtful Sound where often the dolphins
are waiting for you. Cruise the fiords, maybe out to the Tasman
Sea while you look for seals and penguins.
