Picton, a coastal town at the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, serves as the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds. Surrounded by tranquil blue waters, lush hills, and winding inlets, Picton is a paradise for outdoor explorers. The Marlborough Sounds, a nearby network of sunken river valleys, offer so many opportunities for adventure. Visitors can kayak through the sheltered coves, sail along the peaceful bays, or hike the famous Queen Charlotte Track. The waters around Picton are also home to dolphins, seals, and even rare seabirds. Picton’s culinary scene reflects the rich produce of the surrounding Marlborough region, which is famous for its Sauvignon Blanc. Visitors can explore wineries, taste freshly caught seafood, and enjoy farm-to-table dining at charming eateries. The town’s close connection to the sea means that fresh green-lipped mussels, a local specialty, are a must-try dish. With its stunning coastal scenery, welcoming atmosphere, and easy access to both land and sea adventures, Picton is more than just a transit point—it’s a destination that provides a true taste of New Zealand’s beauty. |
