Cruise Description

The second largest of the 14 fiords in the Fiordland National Park; magnificent and mysterious Doubtful Sound is an area of rugged mountains, rare wildlife and stunning wilderness. Begin your experience of the area with a cruise of Lake Manapouri before travelling over Wilmot Pass by coach, with stunning views of Doubtful Sounds below. You will instantly feel comfortable onboard the Fiordland Navigator as you explore hidden waterways. Bottlenose dolphins and fur seals are regularly seen and if you are lucky you may catch a glimpse of the rare Fiordland Crested Penguin.  In the afternoon, get out there and explore the area yourself onboard a kayak or in our tender craft, utilising the knowledge of our nature guides.
