Overall, enjoyable day. The Doubtful Sound cruise was certainly worth the effort. I would not book through Trip Advisor again. We arrived 15 minutes early to the Te Anau departure point, as instructed. The woman at the counter was irritated and told us she had “been trying to call us”. We therefore boarded the bus immediately, concerned that we might have been holding people up. We then waited on the bus for 25 minutes. It departed when another couple (who actually were late) finally arrived. Every seat on the large bus was filled. The air conditioning was freezing. We were pleasantly surprised when the bus driver told us there is a cafe at the boat terminal, where we can buy coffee. My husband lined up for 15 minutes or so, to be told he could not order coffee when he finally got to the front of the queue. The boat cruise across the lake was very pleasant, and the boat wasn’t at all crowded. There was space for my son to play, and for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The 45 minute bus ride at the other end was unnecessarily long because we kept stopping for “photo opportunities”. At each stop, 3 bus loads of people got off, queued up to take a generic snap of the view, then quickly got out of the way for everyone else to take an equally generic photo. It felt even longer because the bus driver kept telling unfunny jokes the whole way. The actual Doubtful Sound Cruise was amazing and worth every bit of the discomfort and irritation to get there. 10/10, would do again despite it all. The scenery! The dolphins! The informative, entertaining commentary! Loved it. Regarding the booking process: The confirmation email from Trip Advisor didn’t

RealNZ is a fantastic company. Very professional and with a family business vibe. We took a trip to Doubtful Sound from Queenstown and had a fabulous driver Ula. Then a trip across Lake Manipuri, another bus drive with Michelle, who did really great commentary and then finally the cruise along Doubtful Sound, which was peaceful and awe-inspiring

Take a bus to Manaupol, transfer to a boat across the lake, and then take another bus to the next dock, from where you will have a three-hour cruise. It was so much more adventurous and exciting than Milford, where we had to leave the bus for five hours. The description didn't go into too much detail, but there is a coffee stand on board where you can buy burgers and sandwiches.

Absolutely fantastic experience from check-in to finish. The entire operation was flawless. The meal boxes were excellent—fresh, satisfying, and generously portioned. Every transition, from boat to bus to boat and back again, was seamless, stress-free, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. The staff were wonderfully friendly, adding to an already exceptional day. And the weather? Perfect! I wouldn’t be surprised if RealNZ arranged that too! This is the second activity I’ve done with RealNZ, and once again, everything ran perfectly. I couldn’t be more satisfied.

In comparison with the Milford sound, this is quite a different landscape, much more open, but also with more side channels and islands. The experience itself was great, the first boat ride is mainly a transfer, but then when you are taking the bus to cross the pass you get explanations and then also on the boat(s) - I found the explanations not of the same level as what I experienced doing the Milford sound trip with the same company (those were better explained) and the audio was also often much harder to hear on the boats on this trip, which didn't help. But from a nature perspective, this is a very stunning landscape that you will see - the fact that we had blue skies on the day obviously made it amazing.
