Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise from Queenstown

Getting to Doubtful Sound is an adventure in itself - with no direct road access, the only way you can to get there is by a cruise across Lake Manapouri and a coach trip over Wilmot Pass!

This adventure begins back in Queenstown and a journey along the shores of Lake Wakatipu through the rolling countryside to Pearl Harbour, Manapouri.

Here, board the Real Journeys vessel for a cruise across picturesque Lake Manapouri to West Arm. A coach then takes you across the alpine route of Wilmot Pass through some of Fiordland's most dense rainforest.

Upon reaching Deep Cove, board the vessel  Fiordland Navigator for a 3 hour cruise on serene and isolated Doubtful Sound. View waterfalls, rainforest, mountains, fur seals basking on the rocks, resident pods of bottlenose dolphins and rare Fiordland Crested Penguins.

 With its rugged peaks, verdant rainforest and twisting, hidden inlets, Doubtful Sound will take your breath away
