I'm here to tailor-make your perfect Queenstown holiday. Give me a call and I'll use my expertise to create your personalised experience.

Doubtful Sound is the deepest and second longest of New Zealand's fjords, showcasing cascading waterfalls and stunning mountains. Enjoy one or two days basking in this beautiful scenery from your boat, with luxury accommodation onboard.

Begin your adventure with a coach journey through the hills to Pearl Harbour at the head of the Waiau River. Then take a scenic cruise across Lake Manapouri in the stunning surrounds of the Fiordland mountains.

Once you reach West Arm, disembark your boat and travel by coach over Wilmot Pass, and through the rich rainforest of Deep Cove. Your luxury overnight vessel awaits here, welcoming you to a day of immersive discovery across Doubtful Sound. Spend your day admiring the scenery and wildlife, including fur seals and dolphins. In the evening, anchor in on one of the fjords hidden arms and try your hand at kayaking or explore the shoreline on the tender craft. The tour includes a three-course buffet meal before bed, and a hearty breakfast before your return to Deep Cove.
