Reviews: Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise from Queenstown
Guest User2025-10-20
We booked this trip well in advance as part of our NZ three week tour. We arrived in Queenstown a couple of days before and the weather wasn't great. This prompted us to consider cancelling the trip. Thankfully we didn't- the weather wasn't great, rained all day with sporadic winds but that didn't detract from the stunning beauty of Doubtful Sound. It's a long day with coach, ferry and more coach travel to get to deep cove and the start of the cruise but the backdrop of new Zealand's countryside never disappoints. We were held up by cattle crossing the road heading home but even this didn't dampen our spirits. I'd honestly say if you're in a position to go, then go. RealNZ take great care of you (got to mention our driver Gordy who was great!).

I was lucky enough to have spectacular weather with not a single cloud in the sky. The views are spectacular, the guides knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
It took four adjustments before we finally got on the flight and saw the fjord, but it was totally worth it! The owner was incredibly dedicated, answering every question and patiently explaining things. He even proactively helped with potential itineraries and helped secure a seat.
Furthermore, the weather check and departure times for my final itinerary were at 1:00 AM China time. I had planned to call and confirm them myself, but the owner was so persistent that he helped confirm them. I was so touched! I highly recommend this place! It was a great choice!
