Go Orange - Doubtful Sound Cruise

Up there with the most stunning sights in the world, Doubtful Sound is one of the most remote places in Fiordland National park.

You'll begin the adventure with a 30km cruise across beautiful Lake Manapouri before crossing the Southern Alps via the spectacular 22km drive over the Wilmot Pass Road into Deep Cove, Doubtful Sound, stopping at all our favourite photo stops along the way.

With small group sizes, there is plenty of viewing space to take in the rugged mountains, dense sub-tropical rainforests, waterfalls, glacier-shaped valleys and the pristine waterways of Fiordland. Wildlife, such as penguins, dolphins, seals & seabirds are often sighted during the cruise and offer privileged photo opportunities.

Doubtful Sound will leave you speechless yet award you with encapsulating memories for life. No other inhabitants, just you, your fellow adventurers and the sound of silence.

The adventure into Doubtful is essential, we invite you to delve deeper and Go Beyond with us.
