Doubtful Sound is unspoiled, unmatched and unforgettable. So get ready to create some lifelong memories as the Mariner takes you through the ultimate Doubtful Sound overnight experience.

&nbsp;

Your itinerary starts in Manapouri with a short cruise across Lake Manapouri. A coach then takes you across Wilmot Pass, travelling on a sub-alpine road through dense rainforest. Finally, arriving at Deep Cove, you&rsquo;ll be met by the crew and the majestic Mariner vessel.

&nbsp;

Designed along the lines of a traditional scow, the Mariner blends old world charm with modern comforts that include spacious viewing decks, a dining saloon with a fully licensed bar and an observation lounge.

&nbsp;

As you cruise through some of New Zealand&rsquo;s most stunning scenery, the knowledgeable nature guides will provide commentary,&nbsp;ensuring you miss nothing, be it the pod of resident dolphins, fur seals or rare penguins you might encounter.

&nbsp;

After dropping anchor in a sheltered cove, you can choose to explore the shoreline by kayak or tender boat &ndash; or to simply relax onboard. For the adventurous (or very brave), there&rsquo;s even a chance to go swimming. Of course, all activities are weather dependent.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

In the evening, you&rsquo;ll enjoy a delicious three-course buffet dinner prepared by the onboard chef and served in the dining saloon. Mingle with fellow travellers, savour some of the fine wines at the licensed bar and if the skies are clear in the evening, spend some time on the upper deck gazing at the stars.

&nbsp;

Kick off the next day with a hearty cooked breakfast menu and get ready to enjoy the rest of the morning exploring other parts of the fiord. Finally, you&rsquo;ll return to Deep Cove, the trip back to Manapouri and many, many conversations telling friends just how amazing your trip was.
