Doubtful Sound Discovery

Take to the skies and discover the wild beauty of Fiordland on an unforgettable journey over Lake Manapouri to the spectacular Doubtful Sound.

Fly over the tranquil waters of Lake Manapouri before crossing into the remote heart of Fiordland, where the dramatic landscapes of Doubtful Sound unfold below. The second largest of Fiordland’s fourteen fiords, Doubtful Sound is a vast wilderness of towering peaks, deep waters and untouched rainforest. Quieter and more secluded than Milford Sound, it offers an extraordinary sense of remoteness -and the chance to spot some of Fiordland’s iconic wildlife, including bottlenose and dusky dolphins, Fiordland crested penguins and New Zealand fur seals.

On the return journey, fly through the spectacular hidden valley of Campbell’s Kingdom, a remote alpine landscape rarely seen from above. Land in the wilderness to step out, take in the scenery and experience the silence of this remarkable place before continuing over the impressive Main Divide.

Complete your journey with a scenic flight along beautiful Lake Te Anau before returning to the hangar - a spectacular aerial adventure through the heart of Fiordland.
