“Absolutely worth the overnight. Day cruises are fine, but staying out there felt like a proper escape. The group on our trip was a nice mix...some solo, a couple of older travelers, a few younger people. Also, no reception, which was honestly the best part. Kind of perfect!”

“Weather was moody and grey the whole time, and it actually made the trip better. We did a kayak paddle late afternoon, and seals popped up nearby. Food was surprisingly good too (had low expectations, was wrong). Rooms are basic but comfy. Great overall.”

“The cruise itself was beautiful, obviously, but it was the quiet that really hit. I can’t explain how peaceful it was. Zero regrets!!”

“Kayaked, went sightseeing, stared at stars, and felt small in the best way. Crew let you do your own thing but were always there for safety or a story. Highly recommend!”

“Just beautiful, with comfy cabins. Food was unexpectedly delicious (three-course buffet dinners!), crew were knowledgeable and chill, and wildlife sighting. Hard to beat this overnight experience.”

“The Overnight Cruise itself was amazing. One of the best adventures in New Zealand I've ever booked. But I can’t give 5 stars because of the booking process with backpacker deals. After I booked and payed the Cruise they informed me, that the booked tour isn’t available. Their booking page still showed more than 8 availabilities for the booked date. After a long conversation via email (it took several days to find a solution) we changed the date for the cruise. By the way, their website still shows availability for the original date. However, the new date was cheaper than what I’d paid. But I got now answer on my question how I will get the difference back. I had to complain at the customer support where they after a short discussion paid me the difference back.”

“I didn’t expect Doubtful Sound to be so awe-inspiring, but the overnight cruise made it feel so personal. Kayaking through the quiet fjord and spotting seals up close was a highlight. Everything was well-organized, and booking was hassle-free. If you’re in Fiordland, don’t skip this!”
