Absolutely amazing 2 night tour, blessed with fabulous weather and wildlife. The crew and food exceeded standards, thank you Alex, the most knowledgeable and friendliest nature guide out there, Glenn, Hillary, Grace and John (compliments to the chef- have never eaten better in my life). This is a must do if you’re in the Otago/Southland region and an unforgettable tranquil yet entertaining experience. If you don’t make the effort, you will never see such stunning landscape and scenery as this.

We had a fabulous time on a recent overnight cruise on Southern Secret with Dave and Jenny as our hosts. We could not fault this trip: the food was fresh and plentiful, the bedroom was spacious and clean, the sleep was deep and peaceful, the weather gave us surprises with the views of the high mountain tops, and the scenery was jaw droopingly beautiful. There was fishing, kayaking and swimming, not to mention the photographic opportunities at every moment! Highly recommend this trip.

The most wonderful experience of our NZ trip. We took Deep Cover for an overnight cruise of Doubtful Sound and it was an experience of a lifetime, from exploring the various arms, to kayaking the Sound, to catching our dinner and sailing with the dolphins. Truly unforgettable! Thank you Diane, Chris and Travis for making our trip so memorable. The experience began from the time we got into the van for the journey to Deep Cove where Chris gave a commentary of the locale and from his own experience in the area. We got on the boat in time for a sumptuous lunch of crayfish (Rock Lobster to the rest of the world) and salad. The lobster was super fresh and crunchy, so delectable! This followed an hour long kayaking session and fishing. I've not had much success in the past but this trip, I managed to snag about 5 or 6 fishes, of which 2 would be for dinner. My daughter caught a school shark and was an experience, from the "fight", retrieving the shark to letting it go. We cruised around around the Sound to catch glimpses of seals, penguins, dolphins and fishing at the Tasman sea (for our dinner and the shark) and closed the evening with a meal of venison, our freshly caught fish and of course, with fresh fish, we had sashimi.. multiple rounds of sashimi. Travis and Chris showed us their crayfish traps, the bait (the unused parts of our fish catch) and releasing the few that were too small and not legal to take. Sustainability in action. All in, a wonderful trip; most memorable of all our trips.

We had a fantastic trip to Doubtful Sound. Our guides Blake and Napier were really friendly and shared lots of interesting information about the area and wildlife with us. The day was really well organised which is important when there are so many different elements to the journey. The scenery was beautiful and for large parts of the day it felt like we were the only group on the sound. Highlights for us included a group of dolphins coming to swim alongside our kayaks and a dip in the sound at the end of the trip - cold but invigorating. Would definitely recommend this trip and company to others.

We can't thank Ray and Jessie enough for showing us their amazing alpacas and beautifully hand knitted shawl/ blanket. It's much appreciated! ♥️ These alpacas are well loved and taken cared. Very lucky ones.
