Doubtful Sound – Where bold Cliffs meet bold Albatrosses
The Doubtful Sound at the south island’s west coast is one of the large impressive fjords New Zealand has on offer.

Normally clouds hang low between its escarpments and it rains a lot but also for Doubtful Sound the summer of 2013 was a pretty dry one. The wild albatrosses living at the fjord’s estuary don’t care much about that as they have their own water supply. Meeting them close enough to touch and seeing them flying above the wave crests is the most august wildlife experience of southern New Zealand »»
