Cruise along the unexploited Doubtful Sound - experience the best New Zealand has on offer. Your journey will start from Te Anau where transport will be provided to take you across Lake Manapouri and Wilmot Pass before boarding our custom designed boat at the picturesque Doubtful Sound. The boat will cruise down the main Fiord before heading off to explore some of the more remote Doubtful Fiords. Catch your own dinner while watching the dolphins swimming playfully next to the boat or immerse yourself in the peace and tranquillity of nature underneath the stars. All your meals will be prepared by our experienced chef with local ingredients onboard.
