Absolutely the best way to explore the fjord, I’ve also been to the cruise tour but can't compare to this. The only thing needs to notice is the weather. We couldn't go the first day because of the cloudy skies, it’s easy to reschedule, the second day morning, after a while of waiting for the weather, we finally aboard the plane! 非常棒的体验,后面去了邮轮tour,和这个比起来差距蛮大的。一定要提前确认天气,天气好的时候特别美
It was fantastic. Becauce of the wind we had to go high. We could see the whole of the national park! It was breathtaking!! Beautifull. We were in heaven!
We have been very lucky with the weather and the flight has been a great experience. Pilot was very good and explained a lot of things along the route. It is the best way to see the fiords ??
The booking waa fully successful! it was an beautiful weather, we flew above milford wich was really beautiful.. all the Alps and Mountains where amazing. We even were able to see different Huts as people are doing Walking tracks. we were 4 people plus the Pilot. It's really worth it to do it, we don't needed to to any other trips like with the boat because your getting with 1h &10 min an veg big impression how everything is looking like! Really cool trip!!! by the way sitting in the back is the best as you have more viewing as in the front.
Michael was a super and really really good guide and pilot for the flight over doubtful sound. He did great. The weather was also really good. We had a great time
That was amazing and exciting scenic flight!!!! I can only say that was a blast!! Seeing fiords from the sky is one of my dreams, so my dream came true!!! Thank you very very much, Nardia!!!!! I deeply appreciate your flight!
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 :)
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!
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
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 place. Fantastic crew. Awesome experience.
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
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
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.
Stunning trip! Friendly helpful team, highly recommend!
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.
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.
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!
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”
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.
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.
