New Zealand’s finest ingredients, prepared into delectable dishes
Shadowland Expeditions’ culinary experience brings a personal and interactive passage through each dish. Our food is inspired by Fiordland National Park and its surrounding environment.
We hand-source rare and beautiful ingredients whose texture and harmony work together to provide a true on-board epicurean journey. We pair our cuisine with an extensive range of fine New Zealand wines from boutique winemakers who care as much about their wines, as we do about our food.
Overnight expeditions
Your personal chef aboard uses only the freshest local ingredients, meticulously crafting each dish to your taste.
