This is a beautiful and relaxing experience. You get to see so many waterfalls and gorgeous views that you'll be sick of them by the second day :) The food is good too and the crew provides great insights into Fiord's history.

Absolutely great, staff very friendly and helpful and couldn't do more. The boat was very well appointed and confortable. The scenery, well that can't be described - a must do trip if you get the chance and very good discount through Viator.

My husband and I loved this trip. Were lucky enough to have beautiful weather. Doesn't get much better than sitting on the deck in the sun watching a pod of dolphins play. Magical.

Doubtful Sound tour is amazing. The captain of the boat while we were on the Doubtful Sound was very considerate of passengers and actively looked at making it a truly remarkable experience. This was done by slowing down for us to see dolphins and seals. Excellent tour company!

The tour was great althought it's is really long to access the doubtful sound itself. Had the chance the see some seals.

Unique, only one of its type, wonderful unique scenery, beauty, mysterious in the mist which lingered for nearly half of trip which added to the experience, then the mist lifted and we had great vision. Long trip, full day, well worth it. Unique sights (even in comparison with Milford which we also did.) Stopping boat near shore to hear birds and nature sounds was special, magical, another totally unique, excellent onboard commentary from specialist authority, great bus drivers across the land bit with good sense of humour and sayings.

This was one of the most fantastic trips I have ever done. I did not want to get off the boat. Everything was fabulous, crew, boat, food and Doubtful Sound was so beautiful.

The tour was excellent. We cannot complain. The trip from our hotel, to the bus and the transfers to the boats are perfectly organized. The accommodation was good and the food was superb and the people who looked after us are amazing. Nothing to complain at all. The highlight of it all is the breathtaking view of the lake and the surrounding mountains; it made us feel like we were in the presence of God. We are hoping that this unique natural beauty would last forever for our children and our children's children to enjoy. Thank you very much for looking after us and for sharing us the beauty of this wonderful place.

Well organised with incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Excellent cabin facilities and wonderful food. Views were stunning and fantastic commentary by the enthusiastic naturalist. Highly recommended.

Whilst we very much enjoyed our trip we were displeased with the service from and price charged by Viator. Viator took around a week to confirm our place on the cruise and we were ultimately advised that there were no double cabins left but that we could have a quad cabin to ourselves with shared toilet etc., facilities. We were happy to accept this but were surprised to find we had been overcharged. We expected to pay NZ$1,312 (circa £740) for the two of us for a twin cabin with private facilities and on being put into an inferior cabin with shared facilities would have expected to have been charged the rate for that cabin being two times NZ$436 i.e. NZ$972 (circa £550). However we received a credit back of of £35.00 and consider that we have been short changed by Viator to the tune of £175. S A Silcock.

Fantastic place. Stunning nature. It was raining most of the time. But it is expected
in this ecological location. Absolutely great! The cabin was comfortable. Food was
good. Take a spray as sunflyes will eat you. Definitely recomend.

Beautiful! If you get a chance to do this...DO IT! We were the only boat in this surreal place. The weather cooperated and they took us out into the Tasman. People on our trip had also been to Millford Sound, and told us not to bother with Millford because it was so commercialize-DOUBTFUL-A MUST DO!
