Doubtful Sound is the second-longest of the Fiordland fiords and far less visited than Milford Sound, which gives it a deep sense of silence. Access is by boat across Lake Manapouri and then a coach over Wilmot Pass. Overnight cruises let guests kayak and listen to the stillness, and bottlenose dolphins are often seen. Day cruises last about 8 hours from Te Anau.
