In Australia they say see Tassie first and then NZ.second - that way you wont be disappointed. The same goes for the sounds, do Milford first and then do Doubtful Sound and you definitely wont be disappointed. Pristine, untouched, so quiet and the most breathtaking scenery you will see anywhere on the planet. We did our trip with "realjourneys" and... more
Visit Milford Sound first- so not to be disappointed after doing Doubtful Sound. A must to see-takes a full day but worth every second. We visited Doubtful sound first then Milford sound the next day but we should have done it in reverse order. We went with realjourneys.co.nz and they were excellent. Public bus service over there was also TOP... more
We went on a one-day kayak trip on Doubtful Sound with Adventure Kayaks. It was beautiful - we hardly saw another boat all day and were lucky enough to watch a seal playing and eating a fish right up close to us. In a kayak you feel very connected to the environment and are able to explore the nooks and... more
If you are amazed by the scenery in Milford Sound, consider a second trip to Doubtful Sound with even more panoramic views and amazing vistas! The lowdown: ------------------- Scenery Fijordland, lakes, islands, mountain ranges, waterfalls, snow capped mountains, seals, pengiuns, native trees, birds and plants, dolphins (if lucky) open seas, power station, breathtaking scenic panoramic views of the lake and... more
Doubtful Sound is less visited than Milford Sound, so it is unspoilt and less commercialised because of this. Unfortunately it does make a very long day - 12 or 13 hours, but that's the price you pay. We visited Doubtful Sound thanks to Real Journeys, who have a few offices in Queenstown, but we booked through the i-site in Christchurch.... more
The trip to Doubtful was amazing. Stunning views, playful dolphins, cute seals... too bad the penguins had already left otherwise I am sure I'd enjoy checking them out also. We got to kayak before dinner, and it was just so picture perfect when we got out there. The cruise was great... wonderful crew, happy crowd, delicious food, extremely clean bathroom/toilets,... more
We did the overnight on Doubtful Sound on the Fiordland Navigator and had a wonderful time: saw tons of dolphin, seals and other animals, met lots of fun people, had good meals and saw amazing scenery. This is far superior to the crowded Milford Sound cruises. I can recommend it to everyone. more
