Description

Doubtful Sound in the Southland of New Zealand is place you get to only by boat. Even to do that you take a boat from Manapouri across Manapouri Lake, then get on a bus with your tour company and cross Wilmot Pass over to where you boat is. The suspense just kills you! Finally, you get on the boat for the cruise! Luckily for us, we had spectacular spring weather on0o our first day and the scenery matched the weather. Ever changing, I never tired of standing on the deck soaking it all in. Although much larger than the famed Milford Sound, it takes second place as New Zealand's most famous tourism destination, likely due to the more remote location. Doubtful Sound was named 'Doubtful Harbour' in 1770 by Captain Cook, who did not enter the inlet as he was uncertain whether it was navigable under sail. It was later renamed Doubtful Sound by whalers and sealers, although it is not technically a sound but a fiord. Regardless, there is NO DOUBT that it is spectacular!
