Fiordland Outdoors Co. owners Mark and Christine Wallace, together with their family, have spent a lifetime exploring and adventuring in the pristine wilderness that is Fiordland National Park. The company is an extension of how they love to see Fiordland and includes their impressive knowledge of the area and connections with local transport operators and accommodation providers.

How we help

Fiordland National Park is a vast and remote wilderness area. And while this is what makes it so alluring, it is also what makes it complicated to navigate. Understanding the logistics of getting to Fiordland and onto the tracks can be confusing. There is often more than one mode of transport required to get you there and back again. How do you know which boat to catch and where? What if I can’t get back!

If you are the lucky one left to organise the logistics of your Fiordland adventure, it can be a headache. That’s where Fiordland Outdoors Co. comes in. We take care of all the logistics and wrap it up into one easy booking. It’s all part of our hands-on, local-expert style of journey planning. And it’s what our reputation is built upon.
