Doubtful Sound


Thursday the 18th of January. Our second day in the Te Anau area. We had to say goodbye to Julie and Phillip at Blue Ridge this morning it was sad to go! But we had a full day trip booked to Doubtful Sound. Doubtful is way more remote than Milford Sound. We had to take a 45 minute trip over the lake and then went to the underground water powerplant. From here another drive through the mountains and then another boat ride. Out on the fiord though- totally peaceful. We saw a colony of about 500 sea lions and the most exciting thing was that the moms just had their babies! They were less than 1 week old and John got a great picture of a baby nursing!
After this full day trip we had to drive south to the end of the island.
