It is quite possible that you will arrive in this area by the Interislander Ferry – what an introduction! You will cruise through the Queen Charlotte Sound, with its little bays and beautiful golden beaches. A great way for you to explore more of the Sounds is on a Mail Boat Trip, a fishing charter or by walking the Queen Charlotte Track. Further south the lush bush opens out into the open plains and the Marlborough wine region – it was here that really put New Zealand wine on the international stage.
