A full day experience with very good service of the team. We were lucky to take the tour on a rainy day, so we've seen dozens of waterfalls from the surrounding mountains. It was ausum!!

Wonderfully managed, with exquisite scenery (even with steady rain). The journey had the right mix of historical, scientific and humorous commentary from guides. I’d like to shout out to two exceptional RealNZ employees My wife left her cell phone on the bus coach between the two ports. On board the boat on the Sound, Rachelle was attentive to our needs and called a head to notify our driver. Michelle, fhe coach driver found the phone and had it waiting for us on our return. I know this must happen often yet these tow employees made our day

The boat ride on the Sound was great. It’s just too long an experience. Takes all day. If you aren’t rest for time and you can expend an entire day then it’s great.

First and foremost, Doubtful Sound pales in comparison with Milford Sound judging by that little scenery and silhouettes of the background mountains I was able to see. Not even close. I dare say the first leg of the cruise, Manapouri Lake would suffice. Second and most important, if you think of going with rain or even a hint of rain in the forecast think twice. We weighed our options of either going and seeing at least something or staying in the hotel watching TV. We decided to take our chances and found out that the latter would be more exciting. The long anticipated cruise turned into a dreary boring water ride. The highlight of the tour was a sighting of a crested penguin and a colony of NZ fur seals. Finally, the company, RealNZ is so chip they could not throw in a $5 sandwich and a bag of chips for a US $230 ticket. In addition it was awfully slow and poorly organized. We had to wait for the bus, wait for the boat, wait for the bus, for the boat, on the way there, on the way back. That added at least an hour.

Early start. Quite a varied programme. Bus, lake boat, bus over the pass in an ancient forest with nature guide/driver who gave good information about the construction and form of the forest, roadway, hydro electric scheme for Aluminium smelting,, trip through the sound itself (really a Fjiord) with another nature and history guide, then back via the other side of the sound - so other side of islands. The guides made this more interesting and we saw penguins (just 2), and lots of fur seals. Sadly no dolphins but then they are fickle. The scenery whilst similar in one sense was stunning and each corner a different image with constantly changing clouds and wind. We had the opportunity to get off the coach and learn more about the trees and forest. Interesting guides. The journey back through the lake was a little more subdued as by then we were tired but overall a great day. Everything ran like clockwork and RealMZ who ran the trip were extremely well organised, with good modern kit to make the day easier and comfortable for clients. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful.

Check with tour day before because the 7.15 start time that Viator give you for this trip is wrong. The tour starts at 6.30 from Te Anau . If you get there at 7.15 you will miss trip. Really enjoyed the trip it is a long day.We saw Penguins, Seals and Dolphins along with amazing scenery. Highly recommended. Very cross about not being given right start. Real NZ have said they have emailed Viator several times.Wish I booked direct

Very expensive & majority of time spent on a bus or 1st ferry . Virtually no wildlife or waterfalls scenery more of the same . Disappointing

We had a really beautiful sunny day and wonderful experience going to Doubtful Sound. It’s worth going further to have fewer people and boats. We felt like we had the sound to ourselves.

Quite an expensive trip due to all the travelling involved. From Te Anau, 20 minutes by bus to Manapouri, then 45 minutes by boat to West Arm, then 60 minutes by coach to Deep Cove, then a 2 and a half hour cruise by boat which travels down Doubtful Sound and returns a similar way to Deep Cove. Then you have the return journeys. A good trip for those wanting to see scenery and some seals. The best part was when they stopped the boats engines to listen to the silence. A long day with not a lot of variation. Don't expect to see an abundance of wildlife. Mainly scenery, which is closely repeated on the return journeys.

Viator email and voucher told me my tour was at 7:15. When I arrived at RealNZ, they said the actual time had been 6:15 and i had missed it. RealNZ was able book me on a tour two hours later than the one i had booked. You may not be so lucky if it happens to you.
