No previous experience is required to kayak. However, you must be water confident and a moderate fitness level is required. You will be kayaking for at least&nbsp;4 hours.

You will find both Milford and Doubtful Sound deep down in the South Island of New Zealand in the Fiordland National Park.

Milford Sound&nbsp;is around 13kms long and famous for its dramatic mountain peaks waterfalls. Home to Mitre Peak, it&rsquo;s easy to see why people flock here.

Doubtful Sound&nbsp;is three times longer than Milford Sound, home to three arms named Hall, Crooked and First arm. Commonly known as the sound of silence and famous for Wildlife sightings, Doubtful is a real adventure experience.

Doubtful Sound is New Zealand&#39;s second-most-famous tourist destination, located in the south-west of the country. This full-day kayaking tour will give you a taste of why this fiord is so popular amongst visitors and locals alike.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

You will get to spend the day paddling past mountains and waterfalls with the assistance of a helpful kayaking guide. Be sure to bring your waterproof camera, as you may also spot wildlife along the way including whales, dolphins, seals or penguins!

&nbsp;

Tours depart from Manapouri&nbsp;at 6:55 am. They depart daily between 1 Oct - 30 April.

&nbsp;

If you&#39;re departing from&nbsp;Manapouri, you will meet your kayaking group at&nbsp;Manapouri Visitor Centre. Then, it&#39;s time for a one-hour cruise from&nbsp;Lake Manapouri to West Arm. Head to&nbsp;Manapouri Power Station, where you will board a bus over the Wilmot Pass.&nbsp;After a 45-minute ride, arrive at Doubtful Sound where you will begin your kayaking session.

&nbsp;

Receive an in-depth safety briefing from your guide before getting kitted out in all your necessary kayaking gear including wetsuits and lifejackets. Then, it&#39;s time to hit the water!

&nbsp;

You will spend three&nbsp;hours paddling through the fiord, enjoying panoramic views of the beautiful scenery&nbsp;which includes several small coves and islands.&nbsp;Hand off all your gear and prepare for the bus ride and cruise back to&nbsp;Manapouri Visitor Centre, where your journey will end.
