Te Anau guide Dave

DaveWhat can we say about Dave? He is the epitome of a genuine Kiwi guy. Casual, funny, knowledgeable and always with a story to tell. His laugh is infectious.

You will travel the back country via four-wheel-drive to Fiordland. Visit hidden lakes and enjoy spectacular scenery. On day two enjoy a nature cruise on the Milford Sound with Dave as your guide. On day three take a different route back to Queenstown through old gold mining towns and new boutique vineyards. Your time with Dave will be filled with the challenge of keeping your camera still while laughing and trying to take a photo.
