Welcome to Picton — a charming little seaport town and gateway to the Marlborough Sounds and the rest of the South Island. Picton has a rich realm of Maori and European history created by its natural environment.
Board a shuttle bus for a short ride to Picton township, where you join a local guide for a 1.5-hour, two-mile walking tour.
Stroll along the waterfront and shoreline to learn about the area's history, flora, and fauna. Picton was once called Waitohi, and, during the early years of European settlement, whaling and fishing were its main industries. Today, it is a thriving tourism town and the landing for the ferry that connects New Zealand's two main islands.
At the marina, see fishing vessels, pleasure-craft and water taxis; then, cross the "coat hanger" bridge and climb up to a lookout (about a 10-minute steady incline).
Make your way back along the loop track and finish with the flavors of Picton — an ice cream, coffee or tea on the waterfront.
Return to the ship by shuttle bus.
