Out and About South Island

Escape to Doubtful Sound This Winter

With winter upon us the summer holidays are far away. That doesn’t mean you can’t take a mini break and come cruise Fiordland. No, it’s not  too cold and the weather can be surprisingly settled. The vessel is nice and cosy and the scenery is stunning. With snow capped mountains rising from the seafloor to many thousands of feet above; on a calm day, and there are plenty, the scenery is spectacular and we
do not say this lightly.

There are seals aplenty and even the Tawaki, Fiordland Crested Penguins, are on the nest for the winter. We support the research of these  curious creatures, so we know where to find them; if they want to be found. Dolphins are often seen frolicking in the Fiords, they even swim  along with the boat and check out the people aboard. They are as inquisitive of us as we are of them!

And you can catch a fish for your dinner and raise the lobster pot to augment the evening feast.
Ask nicely and I’m sure our chef will oblige with the tastiest lobster you’ve had in a while.

And the timetable is more relaxed than summer, with almost two full days aboard there is plenty of time to catch up on rest, take in the scenery, enjoy the serenity and pass the time with new friends. So, if you’re looking for a quick getaway to escape the city life and work  pressures then check out our website or give us a call. We’re sure your time spent with us will leave you with memories that last a lifetime!
