Let Go Orange take you deeper into the unknown, discovering islands, hidden coves and the dramatic landscapes in Fiordland’s spectacular Doubtful Sound...
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.

Paysages à couper le soufle, préférer un départ tôt le matin pour profiter des couleurs du levé de soleil , équipe très agreable et compétente.
magnifique croisière avec des cascades tous au long du chemin sur les différents montagnes rencontrées. croisière dans un endroit impénétrable a part en bateau. on a vu un dauphin dans la "cité du silence". journée fatigante mais qui vaut le coup.
Croisière tres agréable, équipage souriant. Nous avons passé un très bon moment, les paysages sont vraiment magnifiques et nous avons eu de la chance avec la météo. La seule remarque que j'aurai à faire est qu'il n'y ait aucune recherche d'animaux lors de la croisière. Nous avons eu la chance de voir les dauphins et j'approuve totalement le fait de ne pas les chercher/poursuivre. Cependant, l'équipage faisant le trajet tous les jours, ils connaissent quelques endroits où les animaux (pingouins, otaries, etc) aiment se mettre et je trouve dommage de ne pas en faire profiter les visiteurs.

Journée inoubliable
Une journée magnifique et parfaitement orchestrée. Un équipage au petits soins et d'une grande connaissance. Nous avons eu la chance de voir dauphins et pingouins... Pas de tourisme massif. Je recommande vivement ! Un de mes plus beaux souvenirs en Nouvelle Zélande. Merci infiniment !
