Be struck by the beautiful silence of Doubtful Sound as you cruise the
crystal waters and take in the breathtaking scenery. Journey across Lake
Manapouri, cross over the 670-meter high Wilmot Pass and enjoy a 3-hour
catamaran cruise through pure serenity that is Doubtful Sound.
Hidden in the south-west corner of New Zealand's South Island, deep
in the heart of the Fiordland National Park, lies Doubtful Sound.
Ten times larger than Milford Sound it is an unspoiled wilderness of
many moods, one minute clear, blue and sun drenched, the next
mysterious and mist shrouded. A wild place of dense rainforest,
rugged peaks, cascading waterfalls and deep still waters -
quiet, serene and green!
Your Doubtful Sound adventure begins as
you cruise the crystal clear waters of Lake Manapouri. Then enjoy a
road trip 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 a spacious catamaran for a
three hour cruise that takes in the most dramatic scenery of
Doubtful Sound. The skipper provides a detailed commentary and point
out highlights. Keep a look out for wildlife as bottlenose dolphins
frequently come alongside the vessel, fur seals bask on the rocks
around the fiord and rare penguins can at times be observed.
After your Doubtful Sound cruise you return to Queenstown.
