Marlborough Sounds Attractions
A boat or Kayak trip is the best way to explore the naural beauty of the Marlborough Sounds' many waterways, bays, beaches & inlets. If you would prefer to stay off the water, there are many short and/or long
walks around the shores of Queen Charlotte and other sounds. Take
a picnic lunch, a towel and relax on one of the many secluded beaches
you will come across. If you have a few days spare, we recommend walking the Queen Charlotte Track. There is no better way to experience the peace and tranquility of Queen Charlotte Sound. Another way to explore the Marlborough
Sounds is with Steadfast Sail, who offer relaxing sailing cruises throughout the Sounds and beyond.
