This tour was outstanding. The operator was exceptionally well organised, the boats well maintained and the staff really friendly and knowledgeable. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed time on land lake and sea that included spectacular scenery and aquatic life. The tour exceeded our expectation and trumped a previous awesome day trip on Milford Sound.

We had a fantastic day in Doubtful Sound - perfect weather with lots of sun and blue skies. We saw dolphins around the boat within thirty minutes of leaving the jetty (we were told that dolphin sightings can’t be guaranteed though) and when we reached the Tasman Sea, we saw seals. Even without the wildlife sightings the tour would’ve been great since the natural beauty of the fjord is just incredible. The nature guide on board added a lot of interesting and informative commentary. The 7 hour tour may seem long, but the hours fly by, since the trip is broken up into three parts (crossing Lake Manapouri, then the bus ride to the jetty - the actual Doubtful Sound Cruise is only 3 hours long). Both boats have comfortable sitting areas and a small snack bar on board (sandwiches, cakes, instant noodles, and other snacks, plus wine, beer, tea, coffee and sodas for sale) and the boat on Doubtful Sound even has a real espresso machine for perfect Flat Whites (much appreciate by me!)

Lekker afwisselend. Eerst zelf naar de haven gereden. Daar op de boot het hele meer over. Zalige boottocht. Dan op de bus voor een busrit over een bergketen naar de boot die ons naar Doubtful sound bengt. Wat een prachtige natuur, zo mooi. Absoluut een aanrader. Personeel verteld veel en probeert zo veel mogelijk te laten zien. Een bus had pech op de terugweg en dat werd netjes opgelost.
