Waikawa and Picton, Marlborough

Waikawa, Picton and Marlborough offer a wide range of attractions and activities.

Once settled in to your accommodation, pop into Spinnaker Restaurant for a leisurely lunch or à la carte dinner and plan your day.

Enjoy the Marlborough Sounds on the Tutanekai Launch Take a cruise out into the Marlborough Sounds with either Beachcomber cruises or the Cougar line, and delight in the wildlife. If you are lucky, you might see a pod of dolphins playing, or seals basking on the rocks in the sun. Myths and Legends Ecotours offer cruises in their classic launch the Tutanekai, leaving from and returning to Waikawa Marina Wharf, giving insights into, not only the wildlife, but also the maori history and culture of the area.

Marlborough Sounds Adventure Company can offer mountain biking, walking or sea kayaking in the Marlborough Sounds area and offer any advice on the Queen Charlotte Track, one of New Zealand's gems, so whilst you are here, be sure to walk at least one section of the track. Ask Spinnaker Restaurant and they can pack a delicious lunch to take with you.

Alternatively closer to home, you may like to browse Picton High Street's many gifts shops and galleries, visit the Edwin Fox Museum, and perhaps walk to Bob's Bay on the Victoria Domain.

If you have an hour to spare, delight in a Picton harbour tour on the beautifully refitted, steam powered ship, The Duke of Marlborough. Experience a bygone era and get a taste for the Marlborough Sounds aboard. Follow the bush clad coastline around Picton's conservation reserve, Kaipupu Point (Sounds Wildlife Sanctuary) to Shakespeare Bay.

Savour a day in the vineyards with Sounds Connection, sampling some of Marlborough's best produce and wines before returning to watch the yachts cruising from Spinnaker Restaurant's deck, in the Waikawa Marina with a glass of Marlborough's finest wines and a sumptuous meal.
