📍South Island, New Zealand. Doubtful Sound | Doubtful Sound Over Night Cruise

Today I’m sharing with you #NewZealandMust-visitAttractions Doubtful Sound Over Night Cruise #DumbiFjordOverNightCruise 🚢 You must go crazy at least once in your life! It is not uncommon to spend the night in the fjords. If you have the chance, please try diving and swimming in the fjords! You won't regret it! (Although....super! icy!) Looking at the snow on the distant mountaintops, it's really spectacular Isolated from the world for a full 24 hours, Spending a night in the most charming Doubtful Sound in New Zealand! Two days and one night trip, I started from Te Anau alone and took a bus to Manapouri Then I took a boat 🚣 to cross Lake Manapouri to the west arm visit centre Took two more buses 🚌 to the Doubtful Sound port ⚓️ Finally, I took the highlight ferry overnight boat 🚢 - The driver and the captain will give a simple tour explanation along the way When boarding the boat, there will be a delicious afternoon tea ☕️ Then began a wonderful and exciting crazy trip! I used to think it was a dream to be able to kayak in the fjords. I always dreamed of going to Norway to experience it in the future🛶 I didn’t expect happiness to come so quickly. I spent the night in the fjords in the southern hemisphere! Not only did we stay overnight, we also kayaked for two kilometers! It was my first time rowing alone, and it was a little hard to control the direction at first, but looking at the magnificent scenery in front of me, everything seemed to become much easier. Then! I also challenged the fjord diving! Can you imagine? In a fjord with a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, you have to jump into ice water of who knows how many degrees! The little American girl I met on the bus told me: "I am going to swim, you should do it too" (I am going to swim, you should try it too!) I had no fear at all at that time I just thought "how many chances can I have to swim in the fjord in my lifetime" I jumped without saying anything! And jumped twice! When I jumped into the water, I felt the chill and had to move my hands and feet constantly. Now I can finally deeply understand the feelings of Rose & Jack on the Titanic. But the excitement in my heart is greater than the chill. - In Doubtful Sound, the water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the majestic valley and blue sky and white clouds seamlessly. Sometimes you can't even tell the difference between the real and the fake. Are you living in the reflection, or is the reflection the real existence? The ferry passed by, creating waves, water marks followed behind, and the blue sky was wrinkled. We watched the sunset in the open sea, listened to the calls of sea lions and birds, and the sky gradually changed from blue to orange and then to dark blue. We found a bay surrounded on three sides in the fjord. The reflection of the valley was still there in the moonlight, but there were more stars. - The next morning, we saw wild penguins🐧 Finally, the captain took us to a high cliff He asked us to stop all actions Don't talk, don't take pictures Just close your eyes and enjoy the moment quietly Listen to the birds singing and the sound of waterfalls Feel the grandeur of nature The boat was also turned off. At this moment, you can only hear nature. I closed my eyes, listened quietly, and enjoyed this perfect moment. Personally, I think these 10 minutes are the most interesting moments. I was inexplicably moved at the moment. It turns out that seeing an incredibly beautiful scene makes you want to cry. It’s not an exaggeration at all. ——Geography Classroom👩🏻🏫—— Fjords are landforms formed by glaciers. Glaciers erode river valleys. When glaciers slide down from high mountains, they not only flow into the river valleys, but also wear away the mountain walls, forming canyons. When these canyons close to the coast are flooded by seawater, fjords are formed. 🌍 #Global distribution of fjords: 📍West coast of Northern Europe: Norway, Iceland, Greenland 📍West coast of North America: Alaska, British Columbia 📍Southern tip of New Zealand's South Island 📍South coast of Chile #Snow watching #100 ways to travel #Overnight cruise in Doubtful Sound #New Zealand
