Good excursion on the right day and weather

What started as a rainy day turned in to a great waterfall presentation. The rain and clouds cleared and there were hundreds of waterfalls everywhere. Many of them lasting only a day or 2 after the rain. Great viewing, long day. Multiple transfers between busses and boats got tiresome.
Beautiful scenery and wildlife

Fantastic trip. Amazing place. So peaceful. Scenery was amazing. Very special place. Fortunate to be followed by bottlenose dolphins travelling in the wake of the boat.

Great excursion to Doubtful Sound! Total of 4 bus rides and 3 boat rides in total but well worth it! Beautiful scenery all around. Cruise on Doubtful Sound was amazing. Wasn’t prepared for some rough seas in the ocean but didn’t last too long. Saw NZ fur seals. Boat was comfortable and crew were friendly and helpful.
Wonderful day, great...
