Marlborough

Marlborough is a coastal wonderland of outstanding natural beauty , with winding waterways, sheltered bays and ancient untouched forest. For many their first glimpse of the sounds is as the ferry from Wellington threads her way through its crystal clear waters. With year-round sunshine and a diverse landscape Marlborough offers a range of land and water based recreational activities and is an outdoor paradise for walkers, wine lovers and water sports enthusiasts alike

Drive 20 minutes to the Marlborough Sounds, where 1500km of winding coastline is home to secluded bays, historic sites, marine reserves and precious island sanctuaries, which foster kiwi and other native species.

Cruise or kayak your way through the Sounds, home to dolphins, whales, seals and seabirds. Walk or cycle over bush clad ridgelines of the 70km Queen Charlotte Track starting at Ship Cove, Captain Cook’s favourite NZ landing site.

Don’t miss a visit to the internationally acclaimed Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, with its theatrical displays of WWI and WWII aircraft and memorabilia.
