Everything NZ was receptive and proactive when our initial booking was overbooked and quickly set us up with a new boat for an overnight

Product rating:

An incredible tour with great people and even better food - we were concerned when we were booked onto a larger boat than previously booked and placed into a quad, but it all worked out better than anticipated - the nature tour was thoughtful, we learned so much, the kayaking was a blast, we made dear friends in our quad, and we even got to swim in the Fiordland. A trip we won’t ever forget, and well worth the money.

Excellent service and great to deal with. Friendly and helpful. Would gladly use again.

Excellent experience. We weren't too sure whether to spend a chunk of our holiday budget on an overnight cruise, but it was worth every penny. Milford Sound is great for a day trip, but Doubtful Sound offers much more diversity.
The trip starts with a trip across Lake Manapouri, which is fabulous on it's own. The connecting short minibus transfer includes stop-offs at places of interest and viewpoints. The cruise proper then sets off into Doubtful Sound. The crew were brilliant. Very friendly, professional and attentive. Our vessel caters for up to 12 passengers (there were 11 of us). This gave us lots of space to wander around for personal space, or socialise with the other passengers.
You are fed very well, and we never touched the snacks we took along.
We were blessed with perfect weather and loved every moment. Doubtful Sound is beautiful and has countless inlets to be explored. Fishing if you choose, kayaking, and more. The evening we moored, we feasted on freshly caught seafood. Being cloudless that evening, and no light pollution, the night sky was breathtaking.
The whole trip was truly a high point of our holiday. Highly recommended.

We took the Fiordland Expeditions Overnight Cruise - Doubtful Sound. It was AMAZING. The crew was excellent and the scenery and experience were phenomenal. Includes a wide variety of unique experiences: boating through the beautiful fiords, kayaking/swimming, seal-watching, deep sea fishing, crew dove for fresh lobster, epic stargazing, dolphins swimming 2 meters away from us for 15 mintues, and more. It was expensive but the once-in-a-lifetime experience was well worth it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The scenery is jaw-dropping and extremely beautiful ! It was very nice to take this small group as you could definitely enjoy everything to the most. With the friendly crew, l felt I was travelling with my family. Seafood lunch, lobster dinner and warm cooked breakfast, fishes were caught on that day, everything was delicious! Very nice chef ! It was unbelievable the food was from that small kitchen. We also did fishing , kayaking.. quiet and calm surface...so unique trip ! As we travelled in the eve of the New year, we counted down together and did firework on the roof to celebrate with champagnes and wines ! Absolutely it was one of my most unforgettable trips in my life ! It was just so perfect and impeccable !!

Everrything to be totally honest.....from the online booking service which was simply excellent to every tiny detail of the cruise itself. The boat we were hooked on broke down.... we feel it was a blessing. The Sound itself is obviously out-of-control blow-your-mind glorious... and everything else measured up too. Even the weather and wildlife came to the party.....

Product rating:

Onboard Chris and Ellie were both wonderful, the Sound itself is blow-your-socks-off incredible, the boat was super comfortable, the food was simply delicious, the activities kept us on our toes, the company was unexpectedly fabulous, the weather was spectacilar and wild life did its bit to make this 2-day trip a clear highlight of our NZ adventure. Couldnt possibly speak more highly of the experience

Really good arrangements, well organised. The overnight cruise on Doubtful Sound with Fiordland Expeditions was truly amazing. The crew were so competent, personable and good fun and enabled the group to gel and get to know one another. The food was first class and beautifully presented, more like a gourmet restaurant than a boat! The cabins were very clean and comfortable and everything we needed was provided. Nothing too much trouble. The Fishing, kayaking and diving were highlights and the scenery just breathtaking. Thank you.

Hi--

I am a solo traveler looking for an overnight cruise (1-2 nights) of Doubtful Sound. I see that there is no availability for Nov 2023. If anything opens up between Nov 18-23, could I be made aware? I would love to book a spot if at all possible.

Sincerely,
Aleks

I note this is not a confirmed booking (4 sept or 8 sept) and that you need to wait until there are 6 people. is this correct? If so do you have to pay in full when its not a confirmed booking?

I am interested in the overnight cruise for Doubtful Sound and prefer more private trip than with too many people. I notice there are a few packages and ones with 70 and ones with less. What is the pricing for them and would there be any availabilities for 14 January 2018 for 2 cabins (4 adults)?

Thanks

We are a family of 2 parents and three offspring: female 28yrs, male 27yrs and male 23yrs. What is the best choice of cabin arrangements for us? Travel dates flexible either 10th,11th,12th February 2018

Comments

Hi Linda, I would say the best choice for your family is the bunk room for your 3 children- it's on the top deck with beautiful viewing opportunities of the stars. Then one of the private cabins for you and your husband. I would recommend with an ensuite so the 5 of you can share that if need be, as although the bunk room has a toilet, it does not have a shower and there is only 1 other shower on the boat

How do we get from a hotel in Queenstown to Manapori to board this cruise?

Comments

Hiya, Transfers from Queenstown are not included with this cruise. They may be able to arrange a pick up from Te Anau. You can get a bus there from Queenstown or i would recommend just hiring a car and driving to Manapouri.

We are travelling with a 1 year old. There are no prices listed for children under 5. Can you please clarify the options for children under 5.

Hi Keely, your 1 year old will travel free of charge on the Fiordland Overnight Cruise. You can either book a premium cabin or economy cabin so you will have a double bed and bunk or else you can book in the bunkroom.
