PICTON, New Zealand (Marlborough): Queen Charlotte Sound Scenic Cruise Vlog l Ep. 14
It's a new day which means we are in Picton, New Zealand! This is an interesting port...if you don't have an excursion booked, you might be bored...you may also be bored on your excursion. LOL. I believe this port is a great port to go wine tasting. I booked my excursion through Norwegian Cruise Line though most cruise lines offer this tour. It is called: QUEEN CHARLOTTE SOUND SCENIC CRUISE and here is the description from NCL's website:
“Cruise the pristine waters of Queen Charlotte Sound on a catamaran, rounding the rugged shoreline, taking in the natural beauty and even feeding fish in a serene cove.
Depart right from the pier on a comfortable catamaran designed for optimal viewing on the typically calm waters of Queen Charlotte Sound. Like all of the sounds within the larger system of Marlborough Sounds, Queen Charlotte was formed when the surrounding river valleys filled with water during the end of the last ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago. It's separated from the other sounds by steep, serrated hills.
Scattered settlements dot the rugged shoreline, most of them so isolated that they can only be reached by boat. The landscape and lush forests haven't changed enormously since Captain James Cook sheltered here during his exploratory voyages in the 1770s. Indeed, the unspoiled natural beauty remains one of the primary draws of this magnificent sound named for Queen Charlotte, the wife of England's King George III.
You'll also spend time in Double Cove feeding the fish, which usually include herring, mullet and cod. Don't be surprised if you see king shags, a type of cormorant, swooping in, as they are highly skilled at catching fish. Still, no matter where you sail on the sound, it's the panoramic views that capture your heart and forever remain in your memory.”
As always, make sure to watch in HD for the best video quality! Hope you enjoy! :)

2018 12 21 NZ South Island - Picton & Marlborough Sounds
At middle of the night we have boarded ferry which took us from Wellington to Picton, small town which gets busy every time when ferry arrives and go back to sleep in-between. Today is our first day at South Island where just a million of people is scattered across 151215 square kilometres. This is roughly half of area of Poland or two third of UK area, so imagine how densely populated is this country (Poland have 38 millions of people and UK 66 millions)!
Picton with its Queen Charlote Track is a base of tackling Marlborough Sounds, so it is worth to spend half a day and do some trekking here. Marlborough Sounds is the maze of peaks, bays, beaches and watery reaches formed by sea flooding the land after last ice age.
From Picton beautiful Queen Charlotte Drive will bring you to Pelorus Sound which is 42km long but has 379km of shoreline. It is truly amazing experience to drive through wiggly road and watch the scenery. And then there is Havelock, self-proclaimed as Greenshell Mussel Capital of the World and OMG, this is true! We have tried selection of mussels prepared in all possible ways – cooked, fried, smoked – and those mussels are so massive and meaty and so tasty that I really want to go back there NOW!
