Manapōuri Power Station is an underground hydroelectric power station on the western arm of Lake Manapouri in Fiordland National Park, in the South Island of New Zealand. At 850 MW installed capacity , it is the largest hydroelectric power station in New Zealand, and the second largest power station in New Zealand. The station is noted for the controversy and environmental protests by the Save Manapouri Campaign against the raising the level of Lake Manapouri to increase the station's head, which galvanised New Zealanders and were one of the foundations of the New Zealand environmental movement. Completed in 1971, Manapouri was built to supply electricity to the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter near Bluff, some 160 km to the southeast. Later, it was also connected into the South Island trans...

About 1800 walkers complete the track each year. The closest town is Tuatapere, although people often stay in Te Anau and opt to drive south the morning of beginning the track.

Doubtful Sound, Fiordland, New Zealand in 4K Ultra HD

Doubtful Sound is the second most famous tourist destination in New Zealand. It is a beautiful fjord in Fiordland National Park, in the south-west of the country. Doubtful Sound is the deepest and second longest (40 km/25 mi) of the South Island's fjords. Some people prefer Doubtful Sound to the more famous Milford Sound because of its remotnes and solitude.

To reach and cruise the Doubtful Sound you first cruise by boat lake Manapouri, get on a bus to drive you over Wilmot Pass, and then board the main cruise boat (1:14).

Doubtful Sound Cruise – New Zealand's Biggest Gap Year – Backpacker Guide New Zealand

Day 143: Today we are getting off the beaten track and taking a cruise of Doubtful Sound with Real Journeys! It’s a full day trip over the stunning Lake Manapouri and through the Fiordland National Park wilderness to get to the quieter big brother of Milford Sound.

Yesterday - Day 143➜

Tomorrow – Day 144➜

30 Tips for Backpacking in New Zealand ➜

-- About this video --

Today we are going from Te Anau to Lake Manapouri which is the start of our Doubtful Sound Tour! We are going to be cruising on the less popular fiord of the Fiordland National Park. However, it’s 3X larger than Milford Sound meaning that just the Doubtful Sound cruise is 3 hours. On top of that, it’s a whole adventure to get to Doubtful Sound, starting at the shores of Lake Manapouri.

We join the team from Real Journeys for a cruise across Lake Manapouri, a stunning lake and entrance to the Fiordland National Park. The trip is a couple of hours where already we see towering mountains and that famous Fiordland National Park scenery.

Once we are across the waters of Lake Manapouri, we hop onto a bus to take us over Wilmot Pass, New Zealand’s most expensive road to build and the only road completely disconnected by the New Zealand road network. We stop along the way for epic viewpoints of Doubtful Sound and to see some wildlife, the native kea parrot!

We arrive down at Deep Cove where our 3 hour cruise on Doubtful Sound begins. Doubtful Sound makes an awesome alternative to Milford Sound with a lot less boat traffic and chance for the captain to switch the engines off and allow us to hear the wilderness around us. Milford Sound may be called the 8th wonder of the world, but Doubtful Sound has that same impressive mountains carved by glaciers, waterfalls, dark reflective waters, and not to mention the wildlife as we see dolphins, penguins and seals on this trip. If you were only to do one New Zealand cruise, consider this one!

So what do you think of this cruise in Fiordland National Park? Would you add going to Doubtful sound to your New Zealand bucket list? LUK in the comments!

30 Tips for Backpacking in New Zealand ➜

-- About this video --

Today we are doing packrafting in Fiordland National Park! What is packrafting? Well, it’s exploring the wilderness with everything you need on your back including a raft or kayak. We are using blow-up kayaks to explore the Waiau River in Te Anau and Lake Manapouri before packing the rafts up in a backpack then hiking on the Kepler Track.

Packrafting is one of the awesome adventure activities in Te Anau, where we start our trip. We learn how to blow up our packrafts then hit the grade 2 Waiau River. Packrafting on the Waiau River is great for beginners to packrafting.

Once floated down the Waiau River we emerge on Lake Manapouri. At one side of the lake, we reach the shores and pack our rafts away. With our rafts on our backs, we hit the Kepler Track which is one of the Great Walks of New Zealand. Hiking the Kepler Track is part of the packrafting experience.

So what do you think of packrafting in New Zealand? It’s a great way to experience kayaking in Te Anau or kayaking in Fiordland, as well as being able to hike the Kepler Track all in one trip. Would you add packrafting to your New Zealand must-do list? LUK in the comments.

Te Anau and Milford Sound | Day Trip | New Zealand (HD)

Te Anau is a town on the South Island of New Zealand (172 KM from Queenstown). It’s known as a gateway to Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound. Te Anau Caves feature a limestone grotto of Glowworms and an underground waterfall (Real Journeys run 1 hour tour to Glow-warm cave).

Milford Sound is an inlet (sound) in the southwest of New Zealand’s South Island (285 KM from Queenstown and 118 KM from Te Anau). The drive from Te Anau to Milford Sound is very beautiful. Eglington Valley, Mirror Lake, The Divide, Monkey Creek, Homer Tunnel are few of the attractions on the way to Milford Sound. Beautiful mountain ranges with glacier at the peak are both side of the road.

The beauty of Milford Sound doesn’t have any word. This is my little afford to showcase the trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound via Te Anau.
