Doubtful Sound is one of a series of fourteen fiords located within the stunning Fiordland National Park on the south west coast of New Zealand's South Island.

This is one part of New Zealand that you shouldn't miss!

Along with Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound offers visitors a chance to experience perhaps the most picturesque of all New Zealand's wilderness areas.

At roughly three times the length of Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound offers incredible scenery and the chance to experience a wide range of New Zealand marine life, including dolphins, seals and penguins.
