Unbelievable customer service - I booked 2 round trips and accidently also bought 2 extra 1-way's across from Te Anau to Brod Bay. I mentioned it to our boat skipper. By the time we got back to our hotel a half hour later, Christine had actually already reached out to me offering a refund. I told her I was so impressed by the quick and proactive customer service, to not worry about any refund ($60 NZD). She responded they didn't want money 'they didn't earn', and insisted on refunding the money. I can't remember last time I've had that type of positive customer experience.

Great service and driver - Steep track but great scenic views on the water taxi and on the mountain. Would tack the water taxi again!

Easy service - Great taxi service to access hiking trails. Trail to left along lake flat and easy, taking 2 1/2-3 hours at leisurely pace, returning to Te Anau

I would book it again - Fast and friendly. The customer service replied almost immediately. We finished earlier and that wasn't an issue to take us back earlier.

Leg saver - Great way to get to Brod Bay and back. Recommended to be there a few minutes earlier. I liked that you could pay by credit card and hop on spontaneously. The only thing I missed was a timetable/schedule/sign at Brod Bay confirming the water taxi times, but the lady on the phone was very helpful, so was the lady captain. Totally enjoyed and would do again!

Convenient and fun - The wind was intense so the water was very choppy and this water taxi ride was more thrilling than expected. Captain was excellent! Recommend making reservations ahead as taxi was full at our crossing and several people had to wait an hour for next ride to Kepler Trail. Great way to start a magnificent 10k hike.

Nice boat ride although late - Nice ride across the lake to Brod Beach from Te Anau with a friendly captain. Boat made a second trip to pick up me and a boat load of others so we left about 9:15 rather than the advertised 8:30. NP for me since I was hiking to Rainbow Reach. Even though I was prepaid and the 1st one at the dock I was not on the captain's list so was not allowed on the 8:30 trip, probably either because I didn't book until about 4pm the previous day or because I booked via Viator rather than the trip provider. Would be best if better track was able to be made of qty of bookings because it would have been discouraging if I was trying to hike to Luxmont & back by 4:30pm

Fake price - I was charged 52nzd, instead of 32nzd on my final price, because of an absurd conversion rate, that was never mentioned during purchase. Very misleading… Travel itself was quick and ok.
