Highlights
Discover the untouched beauty of Fiordland on this full-day Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise from Te Anau. Your adventure begins with a scenic coach ride to Lake Manapouri, followed by a tranquil cruise across its glassy waters. From there, journey over the rugged Wilmot Pass, stopping at viewpoints overlooking alpine forests and moss-covered landscapes. Upon reaching Deep Cove, board a spacious catamaran designed for sightseeing in Fiordland’s dramatic environment.
Drift through towering fjords, cascading waterfalls, and mist-covered peaks as your nature guide shares local stories and points out wildlife such as dolphins, penguins, and fur seals. With far fewer visitors than Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound offers a peaceful and immersive wilderness experience. The return trip retraces these spectacular landscapes, bringing you back to Te Anau after an unforgettable day in New Zealand’s most remote fjord.

Skipper Kate at first catamaran was least enthusiastic and showing interests in her job. Her commentaries were like tape recording and monotonous. No smile on her face throughout the journey to Doubtful Sound. That’s bad and sad. Drivers and the next skipper on the next lag on Doubtful cruise are more Cheerful with occasional jokes to make the long journey relaxing and Happy. I took another catamaran for Milford cruise , at least hot water and free tea bags are complimentary which is helpful during winter.
