When you head from the North Island to the South Island in New Zealand, the first city you step foot in is Picton. This lovely port town is full of fun and interesting things to do, and the Marlborough Sound area is tourist destination that brings people back year after year. Picton campervan hire lets you experience Marlborough Sound the way it was meant to be. Camping is the name of the game as you explore the wilderness and sheltered inlets that abound in the Marlborough Sound. While many areas are only accessible by boat, tramping through the wilderness can give you the chance to enjoy a myriad of forest views and the natural wildlife. By driving up to the edge of the wilderness, you cut days off your travel. You can see more of the natural beauty of Marlborough Sound using Picton campervan hire than using any other method.
With Picton campervan hire, you can drive to the nearest entrance and hike for half a day til you reach your first destination. Then it is an easy half day hike back to the campervan for a drive to your next hiking spot. If you are more interested in exploring Picton, there are a number of attractions right in the city. You can drive your campervan right onto the Cooke Strait Interislander ferry and enjoy a tour of the Marlborough Sound via boat and a quick run up the Strait before turning into Wellington harbour. The return voyage is just as majestic and makes for a great way to spend a day in and around Picton.
The Queen Charlotte Track makes for a great way to get closer to nature and both guided and independent walks are allowed. If you plan to spend several days camping during your trip, a guided tour might be a nice idea. The entire track takes between four and five days and is acknowledged as one of the most beautiful and relaxing coastal walks in New Zealand.
The entire area of Marlborough Sound has a very temperate climate, so the walk can be enjoyed all year round. Those looking for a unique experience may want to sign up for the Dolphin Watch Ecotours and spend a day learning about and watching dolphins and whales. The marine biologists that operate the Ecotours can take you for a trip to the Motuara Island bird sanctuary as well. For the truly adventurous, a swim with wild dolphins can be arranged. |
