| First, a one-hour cruise across Lake Manapouri |
 |
| The mist cleared to reveal wonderful views |
 |
| We had quite a long wait at West Arm, Lake Manapouri. Thirty two passengers and five crew, we all had to be helicoptered in small groups to Preservation Inlet. We enjoyed the sunshine, but not the sandflies. |

 |
| Our turn arrives for a stunning 20 minute flight across the vast Fiordland mountains to Preservation Inlet |
 |
| Approaching Preservation Inlet |
 |
| It was low tide so we were able to land at a rocky beach at the innermost point of Preservation Inlet - the pilot. |
 |
| Only a brief stop and our helicopter takes off with out-going passengers back to West Arm |
 |
| We are taken by tender to the waiting Milford Wanderer |
 |
| On board the Milford Wanderer |
