Doubtful Sound & Manapouri Station with Real Journeys

This morning a taxi (paid by Real Journeys), collected us at about 7.00am and dropped us at RJ office for our journey to Doubtful Sound. 

The bus to Te Anau was filled with passengers for both DS and Milford Sound.  The journey took about 2 hours.,
Reaching the pier, we boarded a smaller water taxi to the other side of the island
