Doubtful Sound Activities

Choose from a range of must-do Doubtful Sound activities. Explore this remote corner of Fiordland with a Doubtful Sound cruise or a kayaking tour.

Only accessible by boat, Doubtful Sound is more dramatic yet far less visited than Milford Sound. Tours depart from Manapouri, where a boat takes visitors across Lake Manapouri. After that, a coach completes the journey over Wilmot Pass to Doubtful Sound. In addition, many tours offer departures from Te Anau and Queenstown.

Doubtful Sound Day Cruise

Explore Doubtful Sound and Lake Manapouri on a full-day excursion including three hours on Doubtful Sound. The Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise with Real Journeys is an 8-hour experience, with coach connections available from Te Anau and Queenstown.

Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise

If you have the time, an overnight cruise is the best way to see Doubtful Sound. With more time on the fiord itself, you will venture deeper into the branching arms and view countless spectacular panoramas. In addition, the evening and morning light on Doubtful Sound is sublime.

The Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise includes meals, commentary, and a chance to explore by kayak.

Choose from the Real Journeys overnight cruise or the Deep Cove Charters overnight cruise.

Kayak Doubtful Sound

Active travellers and experienced kayakers will love the chance to explore Doubtful Sound by kayak. Paddle amidst lush rainforest and view towering cliffs from water level, with birdsong ringing all around.

Departing from Manapouri, the full-day kayak tour includes three hours of paddling on Doubtful Sound.
