From Manapouri: Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise

Beauty without a doubt

Start your unforgettable journey with a scenic cruise across the tranquil waters of Lake Manapouri, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery. After a short cruise, board a coach for a ride over Wilmot Pass, traveling along sub-alpine roads framed by lush rainforest. At Deep Cove, you'll step aboard either the Fiordland Navigator, with private ensuite cabins, or the Wanderer, offering cozy shared compartments and modern bathroom facilities. Both vessels promise comfort as you cruise through the stunning Doubtful Sound. As you glide through the pristine waters, a knowledgeable nature guide will share fascinating insights about local wildlife, from playful dolphins to fur seals. Keep your eyes peeled for rare blue penguins, too!

Dine, explore, and unwind

Anchoring in a sheltered cove, the adventure continues! Weather permitting, explore the serene shoreline by kayak, or tender boat, or take a refreshing swim in the clear waters. Otherwise, relax on deck and soak in the stunning views. As evening falls, savor a delicious buffet dinner prepared by the onboard chef and enjoy time with fellow travelers. If the skies are clear, head to the upper deck for stargazing under a sky full of stars. In the morning, fuel up with a hearty cooked breakfast before more exploration of the fiord. The return journey to Deep Cove caps off a truly unforgettable experience.
