Our epic 4.5 hour kayaking experience is unlike any other, bound to give you ultimate bragging rights amongst your friends.
Longer, deeper and bigger than Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound is here to rival the masses. The mountains are just as high, the cliffs are steep, the waterfalls are powerful and the views are even MORE SPECTACULAR (in our humble opinion of course). We are sometimes at a loss for words of how to adequately describe the raw, majestic beauty of this Fiord, so come and let us lead the way.
Kayaking gives you a whole new perspective to this immensely stunning corner of the world and we aim to challenge the ordinary and leave you with memories that are unsurpassable.
We challenge you to delve deeper, go further than the average experience and Go beyond with us.

Perfect experience!
Had such a great day with Matt on the water . Lovely guy and really took care of us well. Loved the kayaking and it was fairly easy going all day. Weather held out for us despite saying it would rain too. what an experience!

Fab day out!
Had an amazing time exploring Doubtful Sounds! Started off the day with a stunning sunrise whilst crossing Lake Manapouri. Throughout the trip staff were very knowledgeable and shared lots of information and stories on the area. Whilst on the water it is so peaceful, with amazing scenery and wildlife surrounding you! The highlight has to be the dolphins we saw, which came over to say hello! Would highly recommend this experience, although would note for more impressive waterfalls go when there has been some rain!

Doubtful sound Kayak trip
Our full day trip was amazing, the sunrise as the boat cruises over Manapouri was beautiful, the bus drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and the kayak guide made us feel safe and was informative as we kayaked around the fiord. We had a great day out and would recommend this tour to anyone of any fitness level.

Absolutely loved it!
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!
