Doubtful Sound Must Do's

Cruise and Coach

There is no direct road access to the second-largest fiord in Fiordland National Park. You’ll need to organise a day or overnight cruise across Lake Manapōuri and then a coach trip over Wilmot Pass.

Guided Kayak Tours

Explore the fiord while barely seeing another soul. No matter if you’re new to kayaking or a total pro, tours are always informative and entertaining.

Stay Overnight

There’s no better way to experience the serenity and isolation of the Doubtful Sound than by sleeping there. Spend a night at the Deep Cove Hostel or book two-day kayaking and camping trips as well as overnight cruises.

TOP TIP: DOC’s free Hall Arm Campsite is located in a beautiful forest beside the water. Access is by boat only.
