Doubtful Sound Wilderness Day Cruise

Immerse yourself in the magic and silence of the vast fiord, Doubtful Sound.

Jump on a glass-roofed coach from Queenstown or Te Anau or self-drive to Manapouri. Start the day with a 45-minute cruise across Lake Manapouri followed by a stunning drive across the Wilmot Pass with an informative driver and comfortable coach.

Once you arrive in Deep Cove you will embark on a 3-hour cruise around the fiords, taking the time to soak in the true wilderness and keeping a keen eye out for the beautiful creatures that call this place home, such a bottle-nose dolphins, seals and penguins when in season. Enjoy the sound-of-silence as the skipper switches off the engines of the cruise and you can float along with the birdsong.

Once your cruise has finished, you will follow the same path back over the Wilmot Pass and across Lake Manapouri. This is a must-do for nature lovers and explorers alike.
