Oct 28, 2009 - Doubtful Sound

The Overnight trip on Doubtful Sound! Tuesday 27th October 2009 Blue skies this morning – but with the snow on the nearby hills it is still chilly! Though the lake looks really good with the snow capped hills behind. ... There we board the Fiordland Navigator for our overnight journey on Doubtful Sound. ... Now, listen here folks, this is not really a Sound – a Sound is caused by River erosion, whereas this is actually a Fiord created by glacial activity! Being the cheapskates that we are we have a Quad-share cabin in the “steerage” section of the boat, rather than a private 2 berth cabin with ensuite facilities – Why? I hear you cry – well, cost actually – no matter what you pay, the view is the same, as is the food – so for only a little more than the day cruise cost and almost half of the 2 berth cost, Neil gets to share with three women, two Dutch girls and Carolyn.The Overnight trip on Doubtful Sound!

Oct 11, 2005 - Manapouri - Doubtful Sound (CRUISE)

The skies were overcast this morning as we left our dock on Lake Manapouri. This first boat ride was pretty short, and we were met on the other side of the lake by a coach, which would take us over the pass to Doubtful Sound. ... Typically, it rains 2 out of 3 days in this region, and you would believe it too if you saw the thick layer of moss growing everywhere!! It's definately a neat ecosystem here!!! When we got to the top of the pass, we caught our first glimpse of Doubtful Sound and there wasn't a cloud in the sky!!!! It was breathtaking! We were all on such a high as we got onto the boat!! We got a great spot inside on the main deck, right upfront, which gave us a great view. ... As the wind died down, we spent more time out on the main deck.The skies were overcast this morning as we left our dock on Lake Manapouri.
