What To Expect
Cruise with us Oct-Apr to Motuara Island in the outer Queen Charlotte Sound/Tōtaranui, for a very special Marlborough Sounds experience.
Disembark into the magic of morning birdsong, look for penguins on the shore or in nesting boxes, and spot some of the rare species that call this island sanctuary home, including the South Island saddleback and bush robin.
Follow the well-formed track to the island’s summit to take in the sweeping views across the Sound to Cook Strait. You’ll have approximately 2 hours to explore this natural paradise before the relaxing return boat ride.
Cruise with us back to Picton for a 1pm arrival, OR, at no extra cost, choose from one of the following free add-ons:
Discover Ship Cove/Meretoto
Cruise & Walk from Resolution Bay to Furneaux Lodge (3 hours walk)
Cruise & Lunch at Furneaux Lodge Restaurant or Punga Cove’s Boatshed Café & Bar (Lunch at own cost)
