Marlborough Sounds
Destination Guide
Marlborough Sounds is a peaceful coastal sanctuary where marine wildlife, island conservation, and hands-on research training come together. You’ll swim with wild dolphins, visit Motuara Island bird sanctuary, and learn real marine science skills out on the water. During downtime, you can hike parts of the Queen Charlotte Track, enjoy a local wine tour, visit a chocolate factory, or relax by the water in one of New Zealand’s most scenic and tranquil marine environments.
