What a great experience! We had a nice rainy day, so lots of waterfalls and moody weather, which was neat. All the guides and crews were knowledgeable and nice. Very interesting to see such unspoiled place. Absolutely beautiful, would love to see it again. Well worth the effort.
Comfortable view of wilderness mountains and fiords.

Watching seals and penguins. Being warm in the boat while it was cold and windy outside. Very informative commentary and pleasant staff.
Don't let rain put you off

Brilliant, despite the rain. Lots of waterfalls. Warren, commentator on the boat, is an absolute gem. Prefer Doubtful to Milford, as it's so cut off
