About us
We offer the opportunity for individuals or groups to enjoy the experience of a lifetime together in the very special and unique places that are Fiordland and Stewart Island. Experiences to be enjoyed while on board can include fishing/diving/hunting/walks and exploring historic sights or just sitting back and relaxing on board the Cindy Hardy taking in the breath taking scenery. We offer multi day private charters and scheduled scenic cruises throughout Fiordland and Stewart Island.
Cruise Fiordland is privately owned by a Local Southland Family. Our aim is to provide our customers with a range of experiences in a safe and friendly environment that will turn into a once in a lifetime experience. All our skippers and crew have vast experience in the Fiordland and Stewart Island area and are happy to share their knowledge with you.
We have been winners of The Tourism Operator of the year award 2009 and Department of Conservation Corporate Conservation Award 2009 for their efforts in pest control in Fiordland National Park. Click the link below to read about this pest control programme in Fiordland.
