In this most unique of environments, century old black coral colonies grow alongside vivid red hydrocorals in less than 20m of water. This is due to a layer of tannin-stained fresh water, which lies on top of the warmer salt water, filtering out much of the light. In the clear salt water, visibility is often over 10m.

Together with the Tawaki team, we take great pride in offering you a fantastic experience in Fiordland and hope that some of our passion for New Zealand, and Milford Sound in particular, will rub off on you for you to take home.

SO COME ON, THE WATER'S FINE...
