Day Three - Guests will again wake to a cooked breakfast, before enjoying their choice of one of New Zealand's Great Walks or cycling the Lake to Lake cycle trail. Fiordland is known as the Walking Capital of the World, so what better way to enjoy this World Heritage Area than to set out on foot and experience the incredible scenery of the renowned Kepler Track. Guests will take on a three hour section of the track, stopping at a secluded beach on the shores of Lake Manapouri for a picnic lunch provided by Cabot Lodge and possibly a dip in the lake for those brave enough! Alternatively, guests can experience the beauty of Fiordland's lakes, cycling along the Lake to Lake cycle trail, beginning at Lake Te Anau and winding through the World Heritage Park to Lake Manapouri. Guests will return home to well-deserved drinks and canapés, as well as their final evening meal, showcasing the best of the region's farm to plate cuisine.
