 The Experience...

Your Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise will leave you in complete awe of the outstanding views of untouched beauty, wildlife and the serenity of your experience.

Fiordland Expeditions offer you the opportunity of experiencing a part of the world that few people experience each year.

With sheer cliffs rising from the deep to thousands of feet above; Bottlenose dolphins appear and ride along with us at times; seals may be found lazing on the rocks or cruising the fjords looking for food; Little blue and Fiordland Crested Penguins are often seen in season and sea birds such as the Albatross and Molly Mawk can be encountered at sea.

The crew will dive for lobster for your dinner and you’ll catch fish for the plate as well. Then we retire to the mooring where you can go for a kayak while we prepare dinner or just sit back and relax enjoying new friends.

The chef prepares dinner in front of your eyes with the freshest seafood you’ll ever experience! Anywhere!! Some say the dinning experience alone is worth coming along for.

A Doubtful Sound overnight cruise is the best way to experience what Fiordland has to offer. With few other vessels around to interrupt the peace and solitude, your cruise with us is like no other. We guarantee you’ll have a great time.
