Start at the Skyline Gondola summit for six guided ziplines through native beech forest, linked by 12 treetop platforms. Expect views of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables, local stories from your guides, a 20-minute downhill walk, and a final line reaching up to 70kph. The gondola ticket is extra.

Cruise Lake Te Anau aboard Faith, a 1935 motor yacht, then take a 40-minute guided walk to the Hidden Lakes in Fiordland National Park. The crew shares the boat’s story, serves morning or afternoon tea and drinks, and may invite you to help with the sails. Adam and Megan have often hosted, though crew can vary.

“Olly was great and very professional! He took us to a great fishing spot on Lake Wakatipu and ended up catching quite a few brown and rainbow trouts!!!
