Awarua Guides

Awarua Guides We offer guided, tailor-made adventures, accessing a variety of Fiordland's pristine wilderness and s

This is a once in a life time opportunity to experience breath taking big mountain backdrops, rain forests, pristine waters, wilderness, and world class waves unique to this spectacular South Pacific World Heritage Site. With four generations of heritage along this coastline, Awarua Guides is well placed to deliver a unique trip no matter what the itinerary, skill level or weather conditions. Our

main transport option is by helicopter or fixed wing aircraft, but we can also offer other unique packages. Travel to our remote base camp is limited by helicopter, plane, boat or foot, so any arrival or departure option is as exciting as landing on the beach. Please visit our website, or better yet, drop us an email to hear about how you can experience the trip of a lifetime with Awarua Guides.
