Information
Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruises: Doubtful Sound is an unspoilt and remote wilderness of many moods. One minute clear and sun-drenched, the next mysterious and mist shrouded. Cruise across beautiful Lake Manapouri, coach over Wilmot Pass and board our catamaran for a 3-hour cruise taking in the dramatic scenery of Doubtful Sound. Our nature guides are on hand to point out the highlights and wildlife sightings are common (dolphins, seals, penguins). Coach connections available from Te Anau and Queenstown. See our website for departures, prices and other great Real Journeys excursions.

The place is breathtaking! The crew fantastic and amazing,the facts that they shared are very informative.We love the tour overall.you have to be in warm jackets /attire if you wish to stay outaide to see the view.You can also bring your own lunch and snacks.They have some chocolates,drinks,cup noodles,muffins,chips etc for sale if needed. Drinks like coffee and tea are always available.In the big boat ,they have a machine with different types of coffee nd even chocolate drink and of course clean filtered water. My family and I all had fun! Shout out to the people with us who tolerated my kids, i found them were very well behaved during the cruise compared to experiences with other kids so apologies to the lady who wished that the kids could also shut down when we had the amazing five minutes of silence, as im pretty sure they were quiet and silent even in the bus.Aside from that we would surely come back again and would cross our fingers we wont encounter such comments from fellow passengers again.Just be wary if you have kids otherwise it was an awesome experience.

Beautiful part of NZ. Both bus drivers over the pass were great, and extra marks for Ian our bus driver from Te Anau as he returned my camera I left on the bus to our camp before we even noticed it was gone! Only downside was not enough seating inside the cabin on the at the Doubtful Sound end when the weather is poor.

Well organised, however, quite touristic and very expensive. Although the weather was cloudy and rainy at times there were some great views. In the end though too expensive.

Very Nice daytrip into the doubtfull sound. Good information during the bus rides and boattrip. The silence during that boattrip was amazzing. A must do during your travell. I say its better than the milfotd sound but then the drive up there is something you should do.

The cruise was fantastic on a beautiful sunny day. We enjoyed everything, the cruise on Lake Manapouri, the drive over the Wilmot Pass and the wonderful Doubtful Sound.
