The deepest and second longest fiords in New Zealand, Doubtful Sound is a must-do for any trip to South Island – pristine wilderness, rare wildlife and, of course, silence! The tranquillity of Doubtful Sound is something you can’t experience anywhere else, and with RealNZ, they’ll show you the best way to do it! Take relaxing cruises and kayak along the peaceful waters in the heart of Fiordland national park.
Doubtful Sound is a beautiful, untouched wilderness home to a variety of spectacular landscapes, from towering peaks to lush rainforests and crashing waterfalls. It’s a hidden (literally!) gem that can only be accessed by a cruise across Lake Manapouri – the start of your breath-taking experience!
There’s a fantastic variety of experiences to choose from at RealNZ. On their Wilderness Cruises, you can immerse yourself in vast and remote wilderness in a guided day trip: journey across the serene waters of Lake Manaporui, take a coach trip through the lush green rainforests and over the epic Wilmot Pass and then take a relaxing cruise aboard the Patea Explorer in a 3-hour cruise through the waterways of Doubtful Sound. Keep an eye out for the fiord’s abundant wildlife, where you may catch a glimpse of bottlenose dolphins, fur seals lazing around, or the rare Fiordland Crested Penguin.
Those who want a more intimate experience can book a kayaking adventure! This is an amazing way to explore the fiord, with an experienced guide to give you access to some spectacular hidden spots, including Deep Cove, Rolla Island and Olphert Cove that are best seen up close and personal.
These are just some of the experiences that are waiting for you at Doubtful Sound – book with RealNZ for an unforgettable adventure!
