Today we did a seaplane trip over Doubtful Sound and The Alps. The plane leaves from Te Anua and there are different trips that you can do. We chose the 40 minute flight which takes you over The Alps to Doubtful Sound and the surrounding area. We went with Wingsandwater and had a really enjoyable trip. 

It’s about a 2-3 hour trip in the Motor Home dependent on traffic and weather so we decided to leave Te Anua and stop on the way up to Milford Sound.

The Mirror Lakes are on the way so we stopped for a break but there was probably a little too much wind to get any good reflections from the water.

We stayed at The Cascades camping ground which is spacious and has great views. There are also some well marked walking tracks which we used and turned in for a quiet night.
