What travellers are saying
- Colin DLlangadog, UK10 contributionsFantastic trip. Skipper Paul and expert guide Will were excellent. Highly recommend. Fluttering shearwaters, king shags, seals and dolphins all spotted... amongst others.Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Imi L14 contributionsWe will never forget the Marlborough Sounds and Picton. The tour was amazing. Our Guide Will was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The wildlife was amazing, fur seals, a King Shag, many more rare birds in the Sanctuary and... To top it all: many Hector's dolphins greeted us and jumped and swam around the ship. No words to describe the experience. Loved every second, highly recommend this small company.Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Debbie U1 contributionWe had a wonderful trip on the train from Picton to Christchurch. As we rolled through the country side, we took pictures from the viewing car and visited with others from around the world.Written 13 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ross S3 contributionsGavin was great at introducing us to the other members of our group and to the wineries that we visited.
The four wineries that we visited just to taste the wines were excellent and different to each other. The middle (5th) winery we had lunch at was an excellent choice for food.
The day was one of the best wine tours we have done, it was a great group of fellow tourists from around the world.Written 11 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Louise GManchester, UK7 contributionsFabulous boat ride along Queen Charlotte sound on a beautiful sunny morning ..
Interesting little stops on the way to pick up and drop off people...
Ian the skipper was very informative and offered friendly chats on the bridge for us to to ask further questions ..and get more information
Only disappointment was only having 15mins at Ship cove...such a stunningly beautiful place ...it was spoilt a lot by having to watch the clock and not having enough time to soak up this beautiful place....appreciate things need to run to time..but would have enjoyed it much more with more time..even 30mins would have greatly improved this experience and I would have given you had given you 5 Stars ,!!Written 12 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guide, Lynley, made sure the ice was broken and the group were happy to chat. She had great information to instil and gave us the background on each winery we were to visit.
All four wineries were very welcoming & informative on their wines which also tasted great.Written 8 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Was lovely to meet and greet the homeowners taking delivery of their mail in the remote areas they lived. Our boat captain provided awesome and knowledgeable commentary and history the whole time. Thoroughly enjoyed it!Written 14 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Barry S1 contributionStunning Marlborough sounds, lovely relaxing cruse to take it all in. To top it off some of the nicest salmon I have had cooked in NZ and definitely the best green lip muscles. Fantastic and helpful crew.Written 11 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- AgnÄ— P2 contributionsAmazing experience. Malborough wines was one of the reasons I came to visit NZ and wow I was blessed. We were taken to 6 wineries, had 4-5 wines to try in each one, and a lot of insights into how most wines are made. The driver Andy was as an important part of the experience as the wineries - honest and hearty introduction to the region, some history along the way and chit chat and jokes from stop to stop made the time fly by! And stopped at the chocolate factory, too! Was a nice little cherry on top!
If we had more time planned around this part, would have considered one more trip!Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great equipment and guides and perfect way to get out and experience the area. We had only kayaked a few times but had no problem and the guides took good care of us.Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David L33 contributionsThe kayaking with the Marlborough Sounds Adventure Co was fantastic! Our guide, Hannah, was so patient and helpful, teaching my wife and I the basics of ocean kayaking, which we had never done before. We had so much fun kayaking through the Marlborough sound and being able to view the sound from the water. We left the town of Picton and kayaked through the sounds to a small beautiful beach, viewing amazing wildlife and scenery along the way. The tour was great for beginner kayakers as well. It was a fantastic experience that has been one for the main highlights of our trip in New Zealand!Written 26 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
