Picton and Marlborough Holidays

Picton holidays will take you to one of New Zealand’s most picturesque seaside towns. Steeped in history, the beautiful waterside village offers both adventure and culture, with cruises around the stunning Queen Charlotte Sound, and unrivalled wine tasting in Marlborough.

Picton isn’t just a ferry stop. Nestled by Queen Charlotte Sound – a name given by Captain Cook in 1770 – the glistening waterfront has become a bustling mainstay for both families and couples. Take in the coastline on a cruise around the Marlborough Sands, or explore the lush landscapes by foot at Queen Charlotte Track. The crystal-clear waters of the Marlborough Sounds is home to an abundance of marine life, with dolphins and humpback whales making regular appearances.

Marlborough holidays are perfect for both intrepid explorers and sunset-seeking couples, with endless activities, gourmet dining and of course, wine tasting that’s second to none.
