We awoke to what Doubtful Sound is truly known for, rain and misty clouds floating over the mountain tops and along the banks. It was like an entirely different place we experienced yesterday, magical and mystical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast was at 7 a.m., an OK buffet of continental and hot foods. Mitch was longing for a good coffee, but settled for an IHOP version instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doubtful Sound is known as the “Sound of Silence\u201d since it\u2019s so remote with no direct road access. We got to experience that sound first-hand after sailing for another few hours and arriving at the end of one of the arms in the Sound with a beautiful waterfall cascading down the mountainside and into the fjord, Hall Arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our nature guide called for everyone to go outside and find a place on the deck. He asked us to turn off our phones and put down our cameras. The captain turned off the engines and the generator for five minutes for a profound moment they call the \u201cSound of Silence,\u201d a tradition the company has done on the ship since its inception<\/p>\n\n\n\n
