Truly Awesome

We had stunning weather, very warm and no wind. We encountered a pod of dolphins which was amazing. The time when the engines were cut and we were able to listen to the surroundings touched the soul. Great boat and crew, one of the best laid on tourist attractions I have ever done.

Incredible Journey!

On a picture perfect day, we had the most amazing journey through some of the most incredible landscape and waterways in our beautiful Country. This is a must do trip. The staff epitomises the true meaning of kiwi hospitality. Knowledgeable and friendly and just as amazed as we were when a rare Southern Right whale was spotted in the fiord. Plenty of other wildlife was seen during the day,the boats and coach were all of a high standard and very comfortable. Recommended!!

Stunning, well organized, informative !

Well worth the cost - this trip is fabulous from when you leave manapouri - where we booked from - till we got back. The scenery is stunning, the drivers are all very confident and safety conscious and full of great knowledge (listen and learn and have a laugh as well). Yummy food and beverages available to purchase and wear layers because it can be cold and can get warm. Totally recommend this trip.

Incredible day, well worth doing

The whole day was a wonderful trip, even though it was mid winter, I spent the whole trip up on the top of the boats or out the front, as the scenery was so great, and I wanted to get photos. I had a great weather day, with the sounds water being so smooth that there were reflections (had been forecast for rain). Well worth doing the trip on any day, as rain enhances the waterfalls. I want to go again, and bring my wife.

But you can rely on RealNZ, a well run operation with knowledgeable friendly staff and top notch gear. Particularly enjoyed Reynold’s commentary over Wilmot Pass, he did so well for his “first day”

Great day on Doubtful Sound

Very well organised. Good boat ride over Lake Manapouri with interesting guide pointing out POI. Then onto the bus to take us over the Wilmot Pass with very interesting guide. Then onto doubtful Sound cruise. Great real coffee machine making cappochinos etc. Small group so plenty of room in the seated area with great views if you wanted to stay inside. Good outside views windy at times. Went all along the Sound out to the Tasman Sea and back. Saw some wild life around some of the islands. The whole trip went very smoothly and the guides very very good.

Staff friendly and helpful, organisation good, price pretty good. No guarantee of sunshine (probably the opposite) or of wildlife but you are guaranteed wonderful scenery. Boats warm on the inside and plenty of viewing areas out front and on the upper deck (hold on to your hats). Plenty of complimentary hot drinks. A couple of loos for your comfort. Interesting commentary but not intrusive, just informative. If you have a sunny day I expect the place sparkles, if it rains then you'll see the waterfalls in all their glory. Enjoy!

The best way to experience Fjordland

If friends and family visit me in New Zealand this tour is the one "must do" experience I recommend to them. This was my third time on a doubtful sound cruise and every time was different and special. The two night cruise was my favorite so far. We where incredibly lucky with the weather and got to experience all the different faces Fiordland has to offer. Special thanks to the Fiordland Navigator crew! These people make the experience truly magical. Courtney was our nature guide and she was super knowledgable. I truly enjoyed her presentations in the evening and would highly recommend them to any future passenger. I also need everyone to know how good the food was! The three course menu in the evening is one of the many highlights of the tour. I also loved how RealNZ teamed up with Ashley&Co to provide luxurious soaps, body washes and hand sanitizer all over the boat. Made the hot shower after the kayaking and the dip in the icy fjord waters extra special and relaxing. I will be back for sure!!

We had a fantastic day. Our bus driver and boat captain were both very passionate about the Sound and provided lots of interesting commentary. We were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins and to have calm waters out to the Tasman Sea.
