A first look at Doubtful Sound

Doubtful Sound is part of Fiordland National Park in South Island and while it may not be as popular as the nearby Milford Sound, the fiord is popular for its remoteness. The best way to experience and explore the fiord and its solitude is by kayak. The official name of the fiord is Doubtful Sound / Patea, with Patea being the Maori name.
