Mille mercis à George & Adam pour leur gentillesse et ce tour d’exception ! Avec la promo bookme nous avons eu l’impression d’avoir une sortie grand luxe pour un prix raisonnable. Petit comité de passagers sur le bateau et service irréprochable, on se sent très privilégiés. Boissons incluant champagne ou vin à volonté sans supplément sur le’ bateau, petits fours, balade sur une île du Fjord, et l’équipage nous laisse visiter tout le bateau et participer à son fonctionnement (conduire, sortir la voile...) Je pense que la sortie de 14h parmi les 3 proposées est le meilleur rapport qualité prix. Merci !
Rien à voir avec les croisières touristiques. Je ne peux que le recommander.
Absolument génial. Le commandant et son équipage sont très attentionnés et passionnés par la restauration de ce bateau des années 30. Pendant 3h/3h30 vous vivrez un moment inoubliable : histoire du bateau par le commandant, il se transforme en indiana jones pour vous accompagner à la découverte de la bush. Le retour sur le lac est ponctué de cornemuse sur le pont, de chute d'eau et d'un petit déjeuner varié avec des amuses gueules raffinés. Nous recommandons cette expérience particulièrement pour les couples, peut être un peu moins pour les familles avec des enfants en bas âge. Merci du fonds du coeur à l'équipe pour leur accueil et leur passion.
After experiencing Faith’s cruises a number of times, it just gets better. Calm and relaxing with like minded people looking for the same Fiordland connection. It’s bliss. After the walk into a hidden lake, the canapés with tea or coffee is delicious. Thanks again to Faith’s crew.

Expérience unique
Une super expérience ! Le Capitaine et sa seconde sont d'une gentillesse sans nom ce qui rend cette petite croisière extraordinaire. Un pur moment de découverte et de bonheur partagé avec eux. Un grand merci ! A noter qu'il s'agit d'une excursion bien loin des circuits touristiques classiques, et c'est très agréable. Bravo à eux !
