Doubtful Sound Wilderness Day Cruise from Manapouri
About This Experience
Experience an 8-hour day trip into the remote wilderness of Doubtful Sound, the heart of Fiordland National Park, while nature guides answer questions and point out landmarks. This fiord is home to bottlenose dolphins and fur seals - both are often seen. In season, you may even catch a glimpse of the rare Fiordland crested penguins. Explore Doubtful Sound's vast waterways on board a luxurious vessel. A highlight is experiencing the unique 'Sound of Silence', where you hear only birdsong while floating on the fiord with the engines turned off. If you wish to pre-order a picnic lunch, please contact the supplier directly after you have made your booking. Please be sure you arrive 20 minute before departure to check in.
