Doubtful Sound - Daytime Cruises

button


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.

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

  • Duration 8 hours
  • Delicious picnic lunch options
    (must be pre-ordered)
  • Visit to Manapouri Underground Power Station
  • Queenstown and Te Anau coach connections
  • Suitable for all ages

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