Whilst it was just billed as a water taxi, the skipper made sure everyone knew where they were going, whether they were expecting to be picked up again or not and which walk they were doing. He even gave directions as to where to go when we got off. It was more than I expected. 👍

It's refreshing to see female operators on the boats as captains. Keep up the good work ladies 😊

Highlights

  • Sit back and relax as we take you to Te Anau’s best day walks and views
  • Access the world-famous Kepler Track, a New Zealand Great Walk
  • Challenge yourself to hike to Luxmore Hut, or even the Mt. Luxmore summit

Full description

Travel across Lake Te Anau on the Kepler Water Taxi to reach the world-famous Kepler Track for a day walk. Meet the water taxi on the lakefront and head across to Brod Bay to explore the stunning Fiordland National Park at your own pace.

Best of all, the trip is just a short 15 minutes. Sit back and relax during your comfortable transfer across the lake and marvel at the stunning natural surroundings.

Once on the other side, explore the Kepler Track in a number of ways — there's something for everyone. If you're looking for a challenge, set your sights on Mount Luxmore. The summit can be reached in a day with a water taxi transfer across the lake, and is well worth it for the astounding views over Lake Te Anau and Fiordland.

Alternatively, choose a more relaxing option by enjoying a gentle 10-kilometer walk from the same staring point, and walk your way around the bay back to Te Anau.

It was good. He came back when he was supposed to. Only 1 boat and lots of people had to wait. Our taxi ticket was 1 way, to get picked up or return it's $50NZD, rather expensive for a short taxi trip across lake te Anau.
