About this experience

Fiordland's **Doubtful Sound** is a geographically huge destination packed with stunning natural beauty; with these **overnight cruises**, you'll be able to immerse yourself in its breathtaking scenery and spend the night while anchored in a sheltered cove to extend the experience an additional day! The journey will begin when you board the **cruise yacht** - the **Fiordland Navigator** - that awaits you at the beginning point of your Doubtful Sound cruise, and we head off to cruise the full, impressive length of the fiord and weave through its hidden coves and waterways. During your time on the water, keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife that inhabit the area including bottle nose dolphins, fur seals, rare penguins and more. The chance to go swimming will also present itself as we drop anchor, or perhaps explore the shoreline by kayak. In the evening, enjoy a delicious meal prepared by our onboard chef and relax in the saloon before you head to your cosy bed. **NOTE:** This option also includes coach transfers from Queenstown.
