Stay with the weather Fiordland's steep walls, water and cloud continually change the scene. Rain can alter the experience dramatically, while low light can separate one layer of landscape from another. A boat trip and a land-based approach offer complementary views.
Treat the road approach, sailing and return as one complete day when planning. Check current road and weather information, and give major walks a separate plan.
