Lake Te Anau

After a long drive (about 4 hours from Dunedin), we finally reached Lake Te Anau!

We checked in to the nice resort style motel just next to Lake Te Anau.


After a little unpacking, we took a nice walk around the lake. Wanted to catch a movie featuring Milford Sound.

Some silhouette captured along the way.. :p


Scenic flight packages to Milford Sound can be found here. Dig deep into your pockets.. lol



One of the 'i' information centre that can be found all over NZ


One of the many locations available to take the scenic flight. During the daytime, you can hear a lot of plane buzzing over the lake.. :P Btw, you'll need to prepare about NZ$300 for the ride. In case you are wondering, we didn't take the flight here. We are saving our $ for the heli hike at Franz Josef Glacier later on :)


Btw, if you are interested to take the scenic flight to Milford Sound, a more value for money option would be to take the scenic flight from Lake Wanaka instead. You pay just a little bit more but the flight journey is much longer. (the usual option is to take from Lake Te Anau or from Queenstown but the ride is shorter)
