Doubtful Sound Cruise with Coach Transfers from Queenstown

Description

Doubtful Sound is a mind blowing fiordland located in a World Heritage area. The isolated fiordland of Doubtful shows nature in its rawest and most overwhelming form imaginable. Known for its rich abundance of flora and fauna it is the second largest fiord of the 14 within the Fiordland National Park, standing at three times the length of Milford Sound and ten times larger!

To access the isolated fiordland your adventure begins with a boat cruise across Lake Manapouri, followed by a coach ride over the Wilmot Pass where you can absorb the breathtaking sight which stands in front of you before descending into Deep Water Cove and boarding the catamaran for your three hour cruise.

The cruise provides you with dramatic views of Doubtfuls awe-inspiring scenery along with detailed commentary from the friendly and knowledgeable skippers who will highlight key viewing points to ensure that you don't miss a thing. As well as the scenery you will be treated to sightings of fur seals basking on the rocks, bottlenose dolphins frolicking alongside the ship and even the rare Fiordland Crested Penguin.
