Great long day out to see wonderful natural beauty. Coach, boat, another coach and then another boat but all worth it. Peaceful surroundings, seals and plenty of waterfalls and landscapes.

We had perfect weather for our trip to Doubtful Sound. The team driving and ferrying the group to the Sound was informative and shared their knowledge about the area freely. Having a nature on board the cruise was great in spotting things you may not notice on your own. The quiet moment in a cove was magnificent. One really could soak in the majesty of the area.
A fantastic day at Doubtful Sound

Highly recommend. The entire experience was amazing. Everything was well organised. It wasn't crowded, which meant being able to move around the boat freely. And the scenery was just something that will last in my memory for a long time.
