Doubtful Sound Animal Encounters


We see little Blue Penguins, lots of sea birds but the real treat is some more bottlenose dolphins. We see a large pod of them in the distance mucking around in the water - the boat stops as we aren't allowed to disturb them but all of a sudden a couple of them come right up to the boat and say hello. We can hear them underwater as the sounds are coming through the hull. They are magnificent creatures. Also at the Tasman Sea end of the sound we see a colony of NZ fur seals. All in all it has been an awesome day. Tomorrow we head off to the Milford sound. Sound.
