Wilderness Daytime Cruises - Doubtful Sound

[Tour Code D1]

When you discover Doubtful Sound you will be struck by its silence - a silence broken only by birdsong, or maybe the rushing of a distant waterfall.

doubtful.jpg (3813 bytes)Your Doubtful Sound adventure begins as you cruise the crystal clear waters of Lake Manapouri. Then it's over Wilmot Pass, stopping along the way to experience some of Fiordland's densest rainforest and to view the colourful alpine moss gardens.

On reaching Deep Cove, you will board our spacious catamaran for a three hour cruise that takes in the most dramatic scenery of Doubtful Sound. Our skippers provide a detailed commentary and point out highlights. Keep a look out for wildlife as bottlenose dolphins frequently come alongside our vessel, fur seals bask on the rocks around the fiord and rare penguins can at times be observed.

What to bring:

Comfortable walking shoes/boots, waterproof jacket, woollen sweater/fleece jacket, sunscreen/sunglasses, insect repellent, camera and lots of film.
