With a shared passion for Ata Whenua Fiordland, Shadowland Expeditions uniquely combines luxury aviation and ocean-going adventures for high-end explorers, in an area that is so protected in its isolation from the outside world that it is rare to find so close.  

Shadowland Expeditions once in lifetime experiences are personalized to you. Whatever experience you choose – boat cruises, scenic flights, wildlife experiences – the result will be synonymous with luxury, style and comfort. 

Fiordland’s unique landscape consisting of large internal waterways, unique valley and river catchments, flourishing fauna and fauna, and misty mountain passes make it the gatekeeper of adventure.
