Southern Secret Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise, Te Anau

Experience the untouched beauty of Doubtful Sound overnight with Southern Secret Doubtful Sound Cruises. Known as the “Sound of Silence,” this remote fiord is three times longer than Milford Sound and wonderfully less visited, offering a true escape into New Zealand’s wilderness.

With a maximum of 12 guests, Southern Secret ensures every journey is personal and unhurried. Accommodation is in five comfortable ensuite cabins, each with a private toilet and shower. Cabins feature either a double bed or a double with two singles, making them ideal for couples or small groups.

Your adventure begins with a scenic cruise across Lake Manapouri, followed by a coach journey over Wilmot Pass before boarding the Southern Secret. Once onboard, savour freshly prepared meals including lunch, dinner, and breakfast. When conditions allow, take to the water in a kayak to experience towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls from a new perspective.

Highlights include:

Maximum of 12 guests

Five private ensuite cabins

20 hours exploring Doubtful Sound

Freshly prepared meals included

Optional kayaking (weather dependent)

Close-up viewing of waterfalls and dramatic Fiordland scenery

Family-owned and proudly local, Southern Secret Doubtful Sound Cruises invites you to slow down, embrace the silence, and discover the hidden heart of Fiordland.
