Lovely and Mysterious - Lake Manapouri
Lake Manapouri, twenty minutes from Te Anau, is a picturesque lake framed by the spectacular Cathedral Mountains.
Pearl Harbour, adjacent to Manapouri township, is the gateway to the variety of excursions undertaken on Lake Manapouri and Doubtful Sound. Launch trips on Doubtful Sound begin with a launch trip across Lake Manapouri to West Arm, a visit to the West Arm underground power station, and a bus trip over the majestic Wilmot Pass to Deep Cove.
Those who have come to know this extraordinary lake value greatly the seclusion and pristine scenery to be found in its many arms and bays.
