Re: overnight cruise on MV Friendship w/Fiordland Cruises
I did this cruise - it was absolutely fantastic - the highlight of my holiday. We has 3 separate dolphin encounters and saw the most beautiful scenery. The trip across Lake Manapouri was very scenic and the coach over to Doubtful was great for photo stops but obviously the cruise on Doubtful was the highlight. The staff were very friendly and extremely well-informed. We had free, tasty and healthy food coming out our ears. They pulled up cray-pots so we had 3 crays between 4 guests so our entre in the evening was crayfish pasta with honey, chilli and garlic plus a crayfish and lettuce salad, all freshly prepared on doard. The main (a selection of cold meats, salad and garlic fried spuds) was lovely too but Yvette (the host) struggled to get us to stop fishing! We caught a lot of small perch plus 3 good sixed ones so had panfried perch with olive oil and lemon pepper from breakie! Wonderful all round.
