Can I drive to Doubtful Sound and don't join the local tour?
Hi :
Check the local tour of Doubtful Sound (South Island of NZ), ..... Can I drive to Doubtful Sound and don't join the local tour? eg. the Manapouri Power Station or sight-seeing etc And I will plan to stay 2 nights in Te Anau after leaving Queenstown. Thank you for your help! Kungkung

Check out Real Journey's website, think it is www.realjourney.co.nz
which is formerly known as Fiordland Travel. They do both Sounds whereas Red Boat do Milford Sound only.

Milford Sound is accessable by road, but a *lot* of people go there. Doubtful Sound is larger and more peaceful, but you must take the tour to get there. If you are on a tight budget, it will be cheaper to drive to Milford. However if you choose to do the Doubtful Sound trip, you won't regret it [I've done it several times]. You can't really explore either place on foot, you'll need to take a boat trip.

Thank you so much for your reply and advice
So I decide to join the local tour to Doubtful Sound in mid Oct ...... however, do I need to stay 1-2 nights at Te Anau or just only stay at Queenstown only? thank you for your help again!
