Questions & answers

Q:
Is it possible to rent a kayak and go on a self-guided tour here? I only see guided tours advertised.

No, not that I am aware. It’s very limited access - you have to drive, take a boat, drive some more and then another boat to get to the sound. It’s remote and the weather can change in a heartbeat. They guys know where and when to go and what’s safe and not. It’s money really well spent. It was an 11 he day with 4 hrs kayaking so 7 hrs travelling there and back. Worth every minute
Q:
Will this tour let you explore the whole fiord? Or is it better a cruise if you have just one day to visit the Doubtful Sound?

Same. We did this tour last month and it is definitely guided and you stay in the group. It is possible that you would see more of the sound in a cruise, but this experience can't be beat. It feels as though you have the sound to yourself, very up close and personal!
Q:
Does this tour go into Doubtful Sound? How many hours of kayaking is it?
A:
Yes it goes into doubtful sound. It was a very quiet part of it and we saw no one else apart from our trip of 10 in that part. We had 6 hrs kayaking in Amaruks if our memory serves us …
A:
Yes it goes into doubtful sound. It was a very quiet part of it and we saw no one else apart from our trip of 10 in that part. We had 6 hrs kayaking in Amaruks if our memory serves us correctly. We are going back We saw dolphins and our guide was really helpful and friendly.
Q:
How do you reserve a spot? and how much does it cost? Thanks
A:
Go to the website and book through there. It is $249 per person and well worth it. Google adventure kayak and cruise doubtful sound and it will pull it up.
