Best catchup with my son and his partner, so relaxed ☺️ - We had an amazing afternoon. Wine, food and service ,100percent,
I wonder about having toddlers on board though. My choice would be no kids. That’s just me , when we are relaxing with wine etc.

A Lovely Afternoon cruising on the Sounds - Thoroughly enjoyed the trip out going around the bays on the Sounds. Very good commentary from the Captain. Samples of gorgeous mussels and King salmon from the region. It was a beautiful calm dunny day.
Highly recommended..

Magnificent experience - It was a wonderful few hours exploring the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sounds. Very informative commentary from Captain Nick who also cooked the most beautiful green lipped mussels and salmon. It was the best we have ever tasted. Very generous quantities too! So pleased we did the cruise. Best value so far of all we have done in the south island. Highly recommend.

An older couple’s adventure in NZ. - We enjoyed the seafood tastings and local wine although we didn’t manage to see any dolphins. We did however see a small pocket of marine protection where there were some fish.

Disappointing - Took our booking and we turned up to go only to find out it had been cancelled. This was the second booking we had with Marlborough Tours - both cancelled. Fortunately for us Beachcombers were able to offer us a private tour for a cheaper price.
