Welcome to Te Anau and Manapouri, at the heart of Fiordland
The Fiordland towns of Te Anau and neighbouring Manapouri, built on the edge of pristine lakes surrounded by World Heritage-status mountains, are the living heart of Fiordland.
We are the walking capital of the world and wilderness capital of NZ. We are the gateway to Fiordland National Park, home of the famous fiord at Milford Sound and the Milford track.
We are small but beautiful and vibrant communities, two hours from Queenstown. This is where Fiordlanders live, and Fiordland adventures start. Get wild with us!
