Doubtful Sound... A Sight To Behold

Doubtful Sound in one word...... Majestic!

A pure gift from the dear Lord up above!!!!!
Pilot and I went on this tiki tour, a branch off of our Queenstown Study Break Trip, on Tuesday June 2 as the girls went on to Wanaka and indulged in a different adventure!!! 

Welcome to The Fjiordlands ;)

A little history about Doubtful Sound....


Sometimes called 'the Sound of Silence', there is a cloistered serenity within Doubtful Sound that contrasts with Milford Sound. The fiord is rich in flora and fauna, New Zealand Fur Seals and Fiordland Crested Penguins can be seen on many of the small islets at the entrance of the fiord.
At 421 metres deep, Doubtful is the deepest of the fiords and is long and winding with three distinct 'arms' and several outstanding waterfalls in the area from Deep Cove to the open ocean, a distance of around 40.4 kilometres.
Manapouri is the departure point for Doubtful Sound excursions.




Please relax and immerse yourself in Doubtful Sound.........
