About This Tour
Discover the beauty of the second largest Fiord in the Fiordland National Park. Being 10 times larger than Milford Sound there is plenty to view in the helicopter from rugged granite mountains rising approximately 2000 m above sea level, hidden alpine lakes with rushing waterfalls and the vast Tasman Sea meeting at the mouth of Doubtful Sound. You will also have a remote landing if the weather is suitable.
