This was a great way to experience Doubtful Sound, all the staff and crew of boats and coaches were friendly, helpful and humorous. They were all very knowledgeable and informative which made the trip a pleasure. The scenery was stunning, the views were incredible and the Sound itself beautiful and very quiet. The view of the Tasman sea rolling into the mouth of the Sound was worth the visit.

This was a great trip again by RealNZ. Bus pickup early from Te Anau meant we were in Milford Sound before the throngs arrived from QL. Really informative talk on board cruise and from bus driver en route, with some interesting photo stops en route. Good choice of food and snack on board cruise.

Nature's paradise

Embark on your adventure with a luxurious coach ride from Te Anau, winding through rolling hills and lush countryside. Arrive in Manapouri and board a serene cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Manapouri, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Kepler and Hunter Mountain ranges. Continue your journey with a scenic drive over the dramatic Wilmot Pass, renowned for its stunning vistas of dense rainforest and rugged peaks, offering plenty of photo opportunities as Doubtful Sound comes into view.

Discover the Majestic Fiord

At Deep Cove, board the Patea Explorer for a 3-hour cruise through the remote Doubtful Sound. As you glide through the fiord, marvel at the cascading waterfalls, ancient rainforests with towering Rimu and Kahikatea trees, and serene, misty waters. Your knowledgeable guide will share insights into the region’s history and ecology. Keep an eye out for bottlenose dolphins leaping playfully, fur seals basking on rocks, and, if you’re fortunate, the rare Fiordland crested penguin. Humpback whales may also make an appearance. Enjoy complimentary tea or coffee or treat yourself to a drink and some quick snacks available for purchase at the onboard bar. Conclude your journey by retracing your route over Wilmot Pass and across Lake Manapouri, cherishing the last views of this pristine wilderness before returning to Te Anau.
