PRIVATE CHARTERS
With Cruise Fiordland there is no specific day to day schedule on what you must do. We only take a maximum of 10 people on each Private Charter. Private charters can be aimed at a specific interest or even better a mixture of things. Anything from hunting, diving, fishing, sight seeing, kayaking, going ashore exploring, learning the history or just cruising. We take what you as a group are interested in and do our best to give you the experience of a lifetime.
