Doubtful Sound. A tourism operator will be able to continue its boat business in Doubtful Sound after volunteering consent conditions to minimise its environmental impact. She said it would ensure there was no increase in the existing level of commercial surface water activities undertaken by the applicant in Doubtful Sound. The granted consent allows up to 85 passengers plus crew for back country trips and up to 90 passengers plus crew for day trips. An exception to this is during a Milford Rd closure, when Milford Sound passengers are diverted to Doubtful Sound or when the vessel operated under another of its permits.
