Everything New Zealand

The ultimate way to explore Doubtful Sound is on a Doubtful Sound Overnight Tour, where you can fully experience one of New Zealand’s most untouched natural wonders. Relax on board the Fiordland Navigator overnight boat, operating from September through May, and enjoy spectacular scenery, wildlife encounters, and delicious meals freshly prepared on board. 
 
For a more intimate experience, Fiordland Expeditions offers a year-round Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise aboard the smaller vessel Tutoko. 
 
A Doubtful Sound Cruise takes you through the remote landscapes of Fiordland National Park, where lush rainforests, towering peaks, and calm waters create a truly unforgettable setting. Along the way, you may spot wildlife such as dolphins, seals, and even the rare Fiordland crested penguin. 
 
Unlike Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound Tours are more remote and involve an additional journey, which helps preserve the peaceful atmosphere. The trip begins with a boat ride across Lake Manapouri, followed by a coach journey over the Wilmot Pass, offering stunning views of Fiordland’s wilderness before arriving at Doubtful Sound.

How do I get to Doubtful Sound?
