Sauvagerie des lieux est unique, avec cette myriade de cascades en furie suite aux récentes précipitations qui déversent des torrents d'eau dans le fjord. Nous avons même fini par avoir du soleil au cours de la croisière : que demander de plus ...

Grandiose et immanquable

La plus belle balade en bateau de notre vie ! Les paysages sont grandioses, on se sent minuscules face à l'immensité qui nous entoure. On est ravis d'avoir choisi mitre peak cruise, un petit bateau, qui nous a approchés des otaries, des pingouins et des cascades. La balade de 8h50 est idéale car il n'y a encore personne et la faune est plus visible. Bref, un immanquable en NZ !!

Kia ora Doriane, Thank you for your glowing review. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the cruise on our smaller boat, bringing you closer to the incredible wildlife and stunning waterfalls. The 8:50 am trip really is a great choice for a more serene experience and better wildlife spotting. We’re so pleased to have been part of your unforgettable journey in Aotearoa New Zealand. Thank you for recommending us. Kind regards, Mitre Peak Cruises
