Discover Doubtful Sound on a day trip from Te Anau and experience the remote wilderness of Fiordland National Park. Start your excursion by journeying 30 minutes by small coach through rolling countryside from Te Anau to Manapouri.

Board a cruise that will take you across picturesque Lake Manapouri, followed by a coach trip across Wilmot Pass before boarding the Patea Explorer at Deep Cove.
