Doubtful Sound by Moonlight: A Magical Experience on Our Overnight Cruise
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure through the breathtaking Doubtful Sound, a pristine and unforgettable destination that will leave you with lifelong memories. Our 1-2 night journey begins with a scenic 45-minute to 1-hour cruise across Lake Manapouri, followed by a coach ride across the Wilmot Pass, and finally, a boat transfer to Deep Cove.
On board our traditional scow-style vessels, The Fiordland Navigator and The Wanderer, you’ll enjoy modern comforts and stunning views of New Zealand’s most beautiful scenery. Our knowledgeable guides will provide insightful commentary on the region’s unique wildlife, including dolphins, fur seals, and rare penguins.
During your cruise, you can choose to explore the shoreline by kayak or tender boat, relax on deck, or take a refreshing swim (weather permitting). In the evening, savor a delicious three-course dinner prepared by our onboard chef, and enjoy the company of fellow travelers.
The next day, start with a hearty breakfast and get ready to explore the fjord’s other arms. After a day of adventure, return to Deep Cove and take the trip back to Manapouri, where you’ll relive the memories of your experience in the remote wilderness of New Zealand.
