Fiordland National Park, New Zealand: One of the World’s Largest National Parks 
 
by Amanda M. July 12, 2005

Mountaineering

Mountaineering suitable for experienced mountaineers is possible in the Darran and Wick Mountains.

Kayaking

Tour the fiords and lakes on hired kayaks or as part of a guided experience. Kayakers may have the opportunity to intermingle with dolphins, seals and penguins.

Diving and Snorkeling

Diving in the waters of Fiordland is a unique experience, due mainly to a tannin-stained layer of freshwater that reduces the amount of light reaching the sea water below. At shallow depths, divers can view one of the world’s largest populations of black coral trees. In addition, see red coral, anemones, fish, sponges and crayfish.

Fiord and Lake Cruises

Cruises can take less than two hours or extend over a number of days. Depending on which cruise you opt for, you may observe fur seals colonies, dolphins, little blue penguins and Fiordland crested penguins, in addition to the fantastic scenery.
