โ€œWhen I went to Doubtful Sound in the off-season (in May), the boat I was on was the only one sailing in Doubtful Sound that day. We saw no other humans, and even stopped at one point to turn off the boat motor and just listen to the sounds of the fjord.โ€

โ€œOur Milford Sound cruise was about two hours long, but those hours flew by. It was truly majestic. We saw the most gorgeous views of waterfalls, mountains, glaciers on mountains, small sightseeing planes maneuvering around mountains, and dolphins. So many dolphins! We got incredibly lucky the day we went out and saw not just normal beautiful adult dolphins, but baby dolphins too! Even the crew of the ship was going crazy about how many dolphins were swimming around us. It was just amazing.โ€
