Doubtful Sound, NZ - Captain Cook was "doubtful" that he could change the rigging quickly enough before crashing to tack back and forth through the tight bits so he named this Doubtful Sound and again its a fijord and not a sound. I have to say this was favourite of the two sounds. It was more wild, more varied, longer, rougher at the sea end and had dolphins, huge dophins! and seals. We also had a moment of silence where the motor got turned off, everyone on the boat [300 plus people of all ages and nationalities] was quiet and no pictures could be taken. We just listened to the waterfalls, the birds high up on the mountains and the ocean out in the sound. It was magical.
