Manapouri Underground Power Station
Tour code: D11
The Manapouri Underground Power Station, at West Arm, is New Zealand’s largest electric power station and is unique in that nearly all of it is built underground. Your visit to the Manapouri Underground Power Station includes travel by coach 2km down the spiral tunnel, hewn from solid granite, to the immense machine hall. Here you will learn how the Manapouri Power Station, located deep in the heart of the mountain, harnesses the energy of rushing water to generate electricity.
A visit to the Manapouri Underground Power Station is normally part of the Doubtful Sound daytime excursion. However, access is not always possible.
In the summer season (Oct-Apr) there is a scheduled excursion to the power station and the time is shown in the following timetable.
- Delicious picnic lunch box (must be pre-ordered)
- Te Anau coach connections and transfers from most accommodation
- Suitable for all ages
