Doubtful Sound and Lake Manapouri

As we headed west from the Catlins we stopped in Manapouri. It was from here that we set off on our two day kayaking adventure through Doubtful Sound and then back through Manapouri Lake. Doubtful Sound was beautiful and wild. On the way back the boat dropped us and our kayaks off on a remote island and we camped there for the night. The next morning we packed our gear and kayaked 15 miles back to the dock. All in all we had kayaked 35+ miles over the two days. Needless to say we were sick of kayaking.
