View the dramatic seascapes of Queen Charlotte Sound from the deck of a sightseeing catamaran. Perched on the easternmost point of the Marlborough Sounds, the densely wooded shore is dotted with coves, bays and sandy beaches. During the cruise, the captain will recount the history of the region-from Captain Cook's visits in the 18th century (he sheltered in Queen Charlotte Sound during each of his three voyages of exploration at various points), to tales of pioneer days. Stellar views abound such as unspoiled natural scenery, lush forests, and scattered settlements that add a spot of color to the coastline. The nutrient-rich waters are a feeding ground for seals, seabirds and dolphins. At the Double Cove, you can feed the famous pet fish. Light refreshments are served during the voyage. Your tour concludes at Picton Township. Then, return to the ship via complimentary shuttle service at your leisure.
