Contact Fiordland Tours

A question about a tour listed here, a correction, or a request to be considered? Write to us and a person will read it.

How to reach us

Email hello@fiordlandtours.com. We answer in English, usually within two working days.

We are a booking guide, not a tour operator, so we cannot change, cancel or refund a booking. That goes to the operator through the site you booked on, whose contact details are on your confirmation. If you cannot find them, write to us and we will point you to the right place.

If your tour was cancelled or you missed it

A refund or a new date is the operator's to give. Your confirmation email carries their contact and your booking reference, which is the fastest route. Most tours listed here refund in full if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start; the Doubtful Sound overnight needs 14 days' notice, and the Fiordland Jewel overnight is non-refundable.

Weather is the usual cause. A scenic flight cancelled for weather is rebooked or refunded, and the Milford Road can close for snow or avalanche risk. If you missed a pickup, give the time and the place you waited when you write to the operator.

Corrections

If a fact here is wrong or out of date, tell us what and where. Meeting points move, fares change and parking charges rise, and the fastest fix is usually a reader who has just been. Every page carries the date it was last checked.

Operators

If you run cruises, coach days, flights or other trips in Fiordland and want a listing considered, send the product page. Placement is not for sale; how tours are chosen is set out in our affiliate disclosure.

Where the official information is

Fiordland National Park Visitor Centre, Te Anau

Te Rua-o-te-moko, the Department of Conservation's visitor centre, is operating from a temporary home at 26 Town Centre, Te Anau 9600, until October 2026, while its lakefront building is refurbished. It opens Monday to Saturday from 9am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm and is closed on Sundays. Phone +64 3 249 7924, or email fiordlandvc@doc.govt.nz, for track and road conditions.

Road conditions

The Milford Road, State Highway 94, can close for snow, ice or avalanche risk, mostly from May to November. Check before you drive, and carry chains in winter; they can be hired in Te Anau.

The visitor levy

Immigration New Zealand collects the NZ$100 International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy with the visa or NZeTA; questions about it go to them, not to the park.

The operators

Each one answers for its own tours, prices and calendar. Book and ask on the operator's own page, which is what every booking link here goes to.
