5.00Great 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...
