Go beyond a day in Fiordland and become part of the landscape on a private multi-night expedition through Tamatea/Dusky Sound.
Travel by private helicopter from Wānaka, Queenstown or Fiordland across the Southern Alps before landing deep within Fiordland National Park and stepping aboard Sea Finn, Shadowland’s fully crewed 23-metre expedition vessel.
Over the following days, your skipper will shape the journey around your interests, the conditions and what nature presents. Explore secluded coves and waterways by vessel and tender, encounter wildlife, discover predator-free island sanctuaries, walk through ancient rainforest, paddleboard, snorkel, fish and visit places connected to some of New Zealand’s most fascinating Māori, exploration, maritime and conservation history.
Dining is a highlight of the expedition. Your private chef creates menus around your preferences using exceptional New Zealand produce, locally sourced meats and seafood gathered fresh during your time in Dusky.
Sea Finn accommodates up to six guests across three private cabins and features a spacious heated lounge and dining area, outdoor teppanyaki dining, a forward viewing deck and a hot tub on the upper deck.
With no crowds, no fixed itinerary and nowhere else to be, a Shadowland overnight expedition offers the rare opportunity to slow down and experience one of New Zealand’s last great wilderness areas on your own terms.
Minimum two-night charter. Single night charters may be available upon request.
