Begin your journey into the heart of New Zealand's breathtaking wilderness with the all-inclusive Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise. This full-day adventure commences with a tranquil cruise across the idyllic Lake Manapouri, known as one of the most stunning lakes in New Zealand. After this picturesque start, you'll board a coach for a scenic ride over the dramatic Wilmot Pass, the only road to cross over the main divide of the Southern Alps, offering unparalleled views of the dense Fiordland rainforest.
Upon reaching Doubtful Sound, you'll venture on a 3-hour exploration of this pristine fiord that's 3 times longer than its famous counterpart, Milford Sound. From the deck of your spacious catamaran, witness the majesty of cascading waterfalls, rugged peaks, and verdant rainforests. As you traverse this remote paradise, keep an eye out for native wildlife, from lounging fur seals to playful dolphins, and the elusive Fiordland crested penguin. Throughout your journey, an experienced nature guide will offer informative commentary and answer your queries, adding depth to your experience. Sip complimentary tea and coffee while immersing yourself in the tranquil beauty of one of New Zealand's most impressive natural wonders.
