Doubtful Sound is on the south west corner of New Zealand, close to the smaller but more accessible Milford Sound. Although called Doubtful Sound, it is more accurately classified as a fjord. The steep hills are known for their hundreds of waterfalls during the rainy season. This fiord is home to one of the southernmost population of bottlenose dolphins. This population is small (56 individuals) and has been drastically declining over the past 6 years. It is common for tour boats to interact with these dolphins.

There are three distinct arms to the sound, which is the site of several large waterfalls, notably Helena Falls at Deep Cove, and the Browne Falls which have a fall of over 600 metres. Doubtful Sound is the second largest of the 14 fiords in Fiordland National Park and it is three times longer and 10 times larger than Milford Sound. Doubtful Sound is the deepest of all the fiords at 420 metres,

Access to the sound is either by sea, or by the Wilmot Pass road from the Manapouri Power Station. Most areas of the sound itself are only accessible by sea however, as the road network in this area of New Zealand is sparse or nonexistent, as is the human population.

There are many ways to experience Doubtful Sound by kayak or cruise, as a day trip or on an overnight experience. Doubtful Sound is a must see for all who wish to explore New Zealand's natural treasures. Come, see and you will enjoy......
