Highlights

Take an unforgettable journey with our awe-inspiring guided day experience on the Kepler Track. Start off in style with a scenic helicopter flight to Luxmore Hut. Feel the rush of excitement as you soar above the rugged landscape, treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the serene expanse of Lake Te Anau.


Upon arrival at Luxmore Hut, immerse yourself in the tussock fields and panoramic mountain vistas as we set off on foot to explore the alpine wonders. Let every step lead you deeper into the heart of nature, igniting a sense of wonder and awe.


As the day progresses, descend from the heights of the mountain through ancient native beech forest and marvel at the towering limestone bluffs, as you make your way towards the sandy shores of the lake.


Complete your adventure with a short water taxi ride back to Te Anau, where you can reflect on the day's experiences and carry with you memories that will last a lifetime.
