We travelled by bus from the Real NZ office in Queenstown. Our driver was very good and gave an informative and commical commentary during the drive. Food is available to order for your trip, but we chose to take our own. The organisation was very good, from the initial bus journey, intermediate boat transfer, bus again and connection to our main catamaran for the main trip return trip down Doubtful Sound went without a hitch. There was the stunning scenery, a stop to see the fur seals on an island at the mouth of the sound and an encounter with Bottle nosed Dolphins who gave us a lovely display around the boat during our return trip. Who could ask for more? The sun shone all day even during a couple of light showers. We were very lucky! The return journey was as easy as the first! I would thoughrly recommend this trip.
