A nature cruise and historical experience to be enjoyed by all. Fantastic scenery, wonderful wildlife and great guides. A perfect way to experience the Marlborough Sounds.
This tour is clean green New Zealand at its very best! As we cruise the length of the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound, you'll experience and learn about playful dolphins (98% encounter rate), fur seals and amazing seabirds before landing at historic Ship Cove of Capt. Cook fame. After being welcomed ashore by the cheeky resident wekas, oystercatchers and paradise shelducks, you'll spend approximately 45 minutes enjoying the untouched native forest, fascinating history and breathtaking scenery. Spectacular views toward Motuara Island and open ocean Cook Strait waters will leave you speechless. After returning to the boat, sit back and relax with a free hot drink and cookies before making our way back to Picton approximately 5:30pm.
