Real Journeys Launches New Boutique Doubtful Sound Small Boat Cruises
Real Journeys is to launch new Doubtful Sound Small Boat Cruises this coming season to complement its existing daytime Wilderness Cruises and Overnight Cruises in the fiord.
The leisurely day cruises on board the heritage sailing ketch Breaksea Girl, will offer a more boutique style cruise for a maximum of 20 passengers.
The excursion begins with a cruise across beautiful Lake Manapouri and coach trip over Wilmot Pass to Deep Cove where passengers board the Breaksea Girl.
The soaring peaks, towering cliffs, and dense rainforest which make Doubtful Sound one of the most spectacular in Fiordland, can then be enjoyed during a four hour leisurely cruise of the inner fiord including Crooked Arm, Hall Arm and Elizabeth Island.
The personalised, flexible itinerary will enable wildlife viewing opportunities and the chance for passengers to get up close to the many cascading waterfalls.
A special highlight of the cruise will be the opportunity to truly experience the “Sound of Silence” when the engines of the Breaksea Girl are turned off and the fiord becomes enveloped in tranquillity.
Lunch is prepared and served on board and passengers will have plenty of time to chat with the two person crew who will be happy to share their in depth knowledge of the history, geology and wildlife.
The Doubtful Sound Small Boat Cruises on board the Breaksea Girl are expected to be very popular with independent travellers wanting to explore the spectacular fiord on a smaller vessel.
Departing Manapouri daily from November to the end of March, the new Doubtful Sound Small Boat Cruises option will be launched on November 1, 2010.
A coach connection is available for passengers wanting to depart from Te Anau.
