Highlights

Paddle past secluded coves, glide beneath native bush-clad hills, and encounter marine wildlife such as seals, rays, and native birdlife in their natural habitat. Following your morning on the water, Marlborough Tour Company welcomes you… Enjoy a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant with a complimentary beverage in Picton after your morning of kayaking. From there, you’ll be transported into Blenheim to experience Marlborough’s world-renowned wine region. Set within picturesque vineyard landscapes, framed by the surrounding Marlborough mountain ranges, this experience offers a true sense of place in one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wine regions, with tastings at two acclaimed cellar doors before returning to Picton.

About Picton

Picton is a small ferry port at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound, gateway to the Marlborough Sounds' bays, bush walks, mussel farms and wine country.

Picton lies at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound, at the top of New Zealand's South Island, with green hills rising straight from the harbour. Ferries cross Cook Strait from Wellington, and the waterfront is busy with boats, cafés and a small foreshore. The Edwin Fox Maritime Museum shelters the hull of the Edwin Fox, built in 1853, one of the oldest surviving merchant ships in the world.
