Embark on a boat journey across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Manapouri to West Arm. From there, enjoy a scenic coach ride over Wilmot Pass, with opportunities to capture photos of the shimmering Doubtful Sound below. Upon arrival at Doubtful Sound, our crew will welcome you aboard the Sinbad cruise vessel. Take advantage of her observation decks in fine weather, or stay warm indoors during rain—never missing the breathtaking views through her large panoramic windows. Immerse yourself in a captivating cruise through rugged peaks, lush rainforests, and secluded inlets.
