Situated at the tip of New Zealand's South Island, the Marlborough Sounds make up surprisingly a fifth of New Zealand's shoreline. But not because the area is large, but because the winding coasts migrate in and out of so many coves that they increase the service life dramatically. It is so breathtakingly jagged that the post is still transported by ferry to the cities separated from the road and the visitor can travel with the ferry that carries the post.

It is a rustic period pod that came to existence again in the 18th century, where shepherds still roaming through the wooded hill and fishers roaming the water for shells and living from the abundance of the ocean. In Marlborough Sounds, for an immersive Marlborough Sounds adventure, jump aboard a shellfish boat to taste the shells, shellfish and salmons for which the Marlborough area is famous.

Or to explore the coast on your own, walk the Queen Charlotte Track, which winds through Queen Charlotte Sounds, or cycle up the city' s verdant summits on a MTB. Almost all Marlborough Sounds routes start from Picton.

Picton is a major tourist destination and the most common way to reach it is by boat, which traverses the road from neighbouring Wellington on the North Island.
