What you can expect

Step aboard a beautiful cruise to explore the untouched waters of Doubtful Sound. With knowledgeable guides describing this pristine landscape's landmarks and wildlife, take in the remote majesty of the waterways and mountains in the heart of Fiordland National Park.

After you're checked in at our Manapouri Visitor Centre, ferry across the cobalt waters of Lake Manapouri before driving over Wilmot Pass, making your way into the remote depths of the park to board your cruise. Take in the striking silence of Doubtful Sound, broken only by occasional birdsong or the rush of a distant waterfall.

Spend 3 hours skimming across the waters of this wild fjord, listening to your guides as they answer questions, points out natural landmarks, and provide information about the sound's wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for pods of dolphins, fur seals, and even rare Fiordland crested penguins during the cruise.

Amazing trip with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Would especially like to mention Tony on the bus from Manapouri to Doubtful Sound. He was so passionate and informative about the area and the rainforest.

Excellent day. All five star from pick up to drop off Given that it was a three stage journey there was lots of room for error but all was very professionally done, on time and made interesting along the way. Loved the fact that the staff were very knowledgeable and personable. Oh .... and the free tea and coffee was an added bonus. Highly recommended
