Discover the natural beauty of the Marlborough Sounds on a half-day guided sea kayaking tour in the tranquil waters of Queen Charlotte Sound. Perfect for those with limited time, this tour takes you to the Sound's western end, far from busy harbors, where you'll explore secluded bays, serene coves, and lush native bush. Launch from Picton Harbour (weather permitting) or another ideal starting point, guided by friendly experts who will share the area’s rich history and unique ecosystem.
Your adventure begins with a safety briefing before paddling into calm waters filled with wildlife. Keep an eye out for stingrays, little blue penguins, seals, dolphins, and seabirds as you glide along azure waves. The route adjusts daily to suit conditions and paddler skill levels, ensuring a comfortable and engaging experience for everyone. Tours return to Picton by 12:30 pm or 4:30 pm, making it a seamless fit into any Picton kayaking itinerary or Marlborough Sounds adventure. On cruise ship days, departure times may vary.
