Introduction

Doubtful Sound, also known as the Magical Fiordland, was named by Captain Cook for its magnificent mountains and clear lakes. It is home to a variety of wildlife, such as penguins and dolphins. Unlike Milford Sound, getting here requires a combination of boat and bus, and cannot be reached directly. Real Journeys operates all the cruises, offering both day and overnight options. Overnight fares are more expensive, ranging from approximately $245 to $275 NZD. The number of tourists is limited, as Real Journeys is the only cruise company. Come and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and abundant wildlife in Doubtful Sound.
