Marlborough Sounds Tourism Guide
The Marlborough sounds offer an intricate series of bays, coves and waterways. The beauty and tranquillity of this area brings visitors back year after year. This is one of New Zealand's best kept secrets and a must-see for anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.
Because of its isolation, boats are the most popular way to get around where you can explore the area at your own pace. A few days spent here gives you the chance to relax and completely unwind. You will leave feeling fully rejuvenated and ready to continue with the rest of your holiday.

in the North Island, Picton will be the first town in the South you

at the Southern end of the sounds, and this is where the Cook Straight
Ferries (from Wellington) dock. Picton is a busy town with lots of
charm and plenty of attractions for the outdoor enthusiast.
