What a fantastic experience in a majestic place! If you're staying in the area for a few days, and would like to avoid the crowded areas, kayaking Doubtful Sound is a must-do. The sound is a serene, mystical environment, filled with quiet and raw untouched beauty. If you are lucky, you might also encounter some wildlife - we saw deer, bottlenose dolphins and a fur seal. A special thanks to our friendly and engaging, but very professional guide Alex! A guide can make or break an experience, and Alex made ours a very memorable one. Not only he kept us safe, but also entertained by happily sharing his knowledge of the local flora, fauna and Maori folklore. He also took really nice photos of us, and did a great job of keeping participants of various skill levels and adventure ambitions well satisfied. In short, Alex cared, and it showed! Thank you!

It was a very nice experience ! The team is always looking after what you need to be sure that you will enjoy your day trip. They are so calm and not stressful at all. They provided everything you need to be sure that you will have a great experience. We were into the wild, surrounded by nature, fjord, and we didn’t have any rain : so lucky ! Thanks for this experience. A must do in a lifetime. We would recommend this to anyone, even if you’ve never done kayaking before :)

A great value,well organized and lovely day trip Our boat trip across lake Manapouri in the heavy fog to meet up with our bus driver and tour guide Reynold was a very different experience in a fast ,well equipped vessel, skippered by a friendly captain and crew We board our bus and met of tour guide/bus driver/local expert/all round good guy,Reynold Adkins who remained with our group ,the whole day with commentary and information on local history ,sites,and places of interest ,with a special ,appropriate and appreciated humor,who made our day even more enjoyable,. Our well planned and organized day to Doubtful sound is one which will remain a special highlight of our NZ holiday Thank you

A full day of New Zealand's beauty.

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.

Amazing, any problems. You can take a tea or caffe for free and enjoy this unbelievable place from really nice boat/bus. Must to do!

Stunning trip! Friendly helpful team, highly recommend!

Amazing trip across the lake, through Fiordland and in the sounds - everything was amazing, scenery stunning and staff amazing - thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone in the area

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”

What a beautiful piece of paradise loved the cruise bus ride and the commentary from the drivers. A must do if you haven't already

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.

Stunning place. Fantastic crew. Awesome experience.

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.

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!!

Did the first sailing of the day .. well orgsnised by Realme .. very informative with grest commentary ... great views and photo opportunities. We will be back to appreciate in Winter. A great way to spend 7 hours. A true gem of NZ.

Absolutely fantastic day trip. Note that this trip takes approx 7 hours (we didn’t work this out till the day before haha) the crew were amazing, lovely and chatty and friendly and went out of their way to make this an amazing trip. Absolutely poured down but none the less was still gorgeous!

An unforgettable experience. Incredible scenery - it felt as though we were stepping back in time to a place untouched by people / the outside world. So tranquil and with great commentary & friendly staff.

What an amazing trip this was the first is a beautiful boat ride across Lake Manopouri then an informative bus ride across Willmott pass and then 2.5 hours cruising on Doubtful sound. The Go Orange team where helpful friendly informative and professional. I would highly recommend this trip

We were blessed with an amazing day! The hosts were lovely! Our driver, Dan, was hilarious! Really enjoyed our time. Would definitely recommend it!

An amazing trip. Friendly staff. Doubtful Sound is simply breathtaking. Would highly recommend this trip. Highlight of our stay in New Zealand.

Best tour I did in the South Island. Crossing Lake Manapouri was magical - and Doubtful Sound is so peaceful and beautiful

We had a fab day. Amazing scenery. Great tour. Awesome staff, thanks for making this a memorable trip.

So many words to describe this day, (day 1) suns out clear skies, flat waters, beautiful surroundings of atmosphere. stopped on this island for lunch and had a coffee. the scenery really makes you appreciate nature so much more. tents up and attacked by sand-flies I gave up on the pegs for the cover. I had such a beautiful sleep. Day 2, weather over turned and it hammered down with rain. but going back to base it didn't bother me. the mountains were so much greener, the skies were so grey even had thunder and lightening it was breath taking. the rain just poured down like never before. the waterfalls surrounding the mountains. I really enjoyed my time here. one ill never forget. waves over waves crashing into the kayaks. Takes you to another world and you feel so alive by pure nature and tranquillity. truly thankful for every second of this two day adventure.

Had a good time on this cruise and got to see lots of stunning scenery. The staff were all really friendly. Can't compare to Milford but probably equal...

Seamlessly organised and a nice smallish group. We even spotted a kea up in the heights!

Durchgehend freundliches Personal. Tony war mit Herz und Seele dabei und bereitet "the best hot chocolate" zu. Kevin war super freundlich. Von allen gute und interessante Erklärungen. Haben über bookme gebucht und alles hat super geklappt...
