Picton

Take a ferry ride to Picton and see why it has been described as one of the most stunning in the world. The weather is almost always sunny; here you can take advantage of the awe-inspiring sight of dolphin and whale watching, scenic wildlife cruises, Eco World Aquarium & Terrarium – containing some of the largest collections in New Zealand, hiking and walking either with one of the many knowledgeable guides available or enjoy the great outdoors with your own company, visit Historic Ship Cove and take in a trip to the waterfall, surrounded by native bush; listen to the fascinating sounds of Motuara Island Bird Sanctuary.

This quaint port town has wonderful eateries along the waterfront, sample their fresh seafood, or try the local fish and chips and enjoy a picnic surrounded by palm trees and sea.
