5.00A boat out to Furneaux Lodge - was great value for money. Saw dolphins and many birds on the way. Only a small boat, but enjoyable trip, as people were picked up and dropped off around the sounds.
Beautiful day our and gorgeously destination

4.00A beautiful day out and a gorgeous destination, I wasn’t expecting it to be a full day (mustn’t have read it properly!) your on the water for nearly four hours and three at the lodge. We did an hour walk on the trail before lunch which was lovely. The meal was delicious but also expect to pay for extras in addition to a main meal.
Worth the experience

4.00Overall I’ve given it a 4/5 as stunning views of sound and lunch at Lodge beautiful; awesome choice; awesome locale; service etc. the desire is they drop you off at around 11.15 and collect at 3:15pm which is a LONG time if weather not good for swimming or your not wanting to go for a walk from Lodge. I would not go in this tour again because of that fact only.
