Activities - Picton NZ - Marlborough Sounds
Walking the Queen Charlotte Track is a much better alternative if you wish to escape
the crowds of the Able Tasman Track. Not only do you have a better chance of seeing
wildlife, there are also many more accommodation options.
Getting to the start of the Queen Charlotte Track is easily arranged through the water
taxi companies. They can also pick up and drop off your overnight luggage at your
next nights accommodation, whether that is a campsite or one of the resorts, thus
allowing you to carry only your lunch and camera etc during the day.
Doing a guided walk on the Queen Charlotte Track is by far the best way to
appreciate it in comfort as they take out all the hassle, such as trip planning,
arranging transport and finding accommodation. The nature guides are extremely
knowledgeable about the area and will enhance your experience to new Zealand
immensely.
With over 1500 Km's of coast line in the Marlborough Sounds sea kayaking is an ideal
way to see it. The many sheltered bays and inlets of the sounds makes this an
adventurer's playground.
The Evening Sea Kayak and Beach BBQ is great for those with a limited amount of
time in Picton. Kayak from Picton around to a scenic sheltered bay where a traditional
Kiwi BBQ will be waiting, relax with a few complimentary beers or glasses of wine and
be entertained by the ever hilarious guides. Later return to Picton by vehicle and be
dropped off at your door. This trip is suitable for all ages and abilities and a great way
to make new friends.
The Resorts in the Marlborough Sounds also provide activities either free of charge or
at a small fee. Boating, Canoing, fishing, tennis are just a few of the things you can do
there. They also do packages that include meals as well as accommodation.
