Upon arrival at Doubtful Sound, you’ll be welcomed by our crew to board our purpose built vessel. Take advantage of her viewing decks in good weather, and if the rains set in, feel free to keep wrapped up in the warm – never missing a beat of the view through her large glass windows.
Experience a mesmerizing and enchanting cruise through this fiord with rugged peaks, verdant rainforest and twisting, hidden inlets.
Our nature guides will share their knowledge of this pristine fiord and point out any wildlife we may encounter, including dolphins and fur seals.

Absolutely stunning!
What an experience! The staff were super accommodating and very knowledgeable. The scenery is incredible. We went right down the fiord and out into the Tasman sea. An experience not to be missed!
Robyn McMurdo from New Zealand wrote on 27 March 2022
Absolutely wonderful experience
We had the most wonderful day from start to finish. I would highly recommend this trip, especially while we don’t have all the tourist. Very spoilt having such a small number on the cruise, extra special time. Thank you to all the staff, our bus driver Ian and skipper on the boat ( sorry can’t remember his name). But they made our trip extra special. Will recommend this trip to all my family and friends.

Truly Awesome
We had stunning weather, very warm and no wind. We encountered a pod of dolphins which was amazing. The time when the engines were cut and we were able to listen to the surroundings touched the soul. Great boat and crew, one of the best laid on tourist attractions I have ever done.
Anna Cherry from New Zealand wrote on 12 December 2021
Well worth it!
Fantastic trip, informative friendly staff, beautiful bus journey and cruise. Incredible wildlife, waterfalls, and scenery. I’m not normally a cruise kind of person, but it was a beautiful way to see NZs remote wilderness. Definitely worth it! I’ve heard the overnight trip is even more incredible, so that’s for next time
