Doubtful Sounds

The next day we set off for a day trip out onto the doubtful sounds, for me this has been the best place we have visted, we were going to go to milford sound however its too much of a distance out of our route plan where as the doubtful sounds is pretty much enroute.



As we pulled from the harbour, a pod of about 50 bottle nose dolphins began to chase the boat, jumping from the water and keeping up at the front


This is a mother and calf







The Scenery is unbelievable










My first introduction to the kia which is a native parrot to new Zealand was as we were waiting for our boat on the return trip and it flew down to steal my dinner. They have not yet evolved a fear of humans




It was kind enough to pose for a picture......


Then went back to stealing the dinner
