Beautiful scenery and commentary! We started our day with a van ride to Manapouri, then a 45 minute boat ride across the lake and a coach bus to the dock to catch our boat to the fiords! Great sites all along our journey!!A definite must-see in the South Island!

From the crossing of Lake Manapouri, the bus across Wilmot Pass to the actual cruise - it was an amazing experience. The staff were helpful and friendly, the food was great and the boat was excellent. Doubtful Sound is a breathtakingly beautiful, untouched part of the world. And then there were the dolphins - what a marvellous creature, sheer delight.

We were told Doubtful Sound was better than Milford Sound as less busy. We opted for the 6.45am tour by Real NZ and it was an experience to remember. We saw sunrise over Lake Manapouri, seemless transfers between coach and ferries and it wasn't busy. We also saw dolphins and seals on the Sound plus an amazing moment of peace and calm as they cut the engines and generator to experience the true tranquility of the Sound....apart from the helicopter that flew over! Great tour by Real NZ.

Excellent staff that were very knowledgeable, smooth travels on the route to the sound, and we got to see fit seals AND dolphins! Only two other boats seen the whole day!

Wonderful green mountains with waterfalls, seals on rocks and even a short trip into the Tasman Sea. This trip is value for money with a coach trip to Lake Manapouri, a boat trip across the lake, a scenic coach trip across Wilmot Pass and then the wonderful Doubtful Sound. Excellent boat and friendly, helpful crew.
