Marlborough Sounds

Take to the water and experience all the water activities available in the Sounds when you visit and be treated to spectacular, breathtaking, stunning scenery. The Sounds are made up of Queen Charlotte, Pelorus, Kenepuru and Mahau Sounds. The Queen Charlotte is the most popular of the four Sounds; here the Queen Charlotte Track runs almost as long as the Sound at 71 kilometres in length.

Historic landmarks and sites, luxuriant fertile native bush and forest, unparalleled views from its hilltops to the stunning bays below; here is a walk that will give its visitors a chance to connect with their environment, to hear the sounds of nature and view the spectacular vistas unique to the Queen Charlotte Track. Whilst in the Sounds visit one of the many wildlife sanctuaries, swim with dolphins, while at the Mussel Festival try the local seafood such as the Green Lipped Mussel, sample local wine and fare. The Marlborough Sounds is an experience of a lifetime.
