ABOUT:
Te Anau is a picturesque town on the edge of Lake Te Anau and the gateway to Fiordland National Park. Our group will be staying at the Te Anau Downs Campus (owned by John McGlashan College) which provides us with a good home base to enjoy a variety of walks in the area and will give everyone some memorable scenery and a small taste of what Fiordland has to offer. A highlight of the trip will be the jet boat ride on the Waiau River and the Helicopter Ride which will take us across the Kepler Mountain Range, Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri and includes an alpine landing where you can soak in the magnificent panoramic views (note that the heli ride is weather dependant).
It is essential that everyone has a good level of fitness and is well equipped to cope with strenuous exercise in remote alpine areas.
