Enjoy the sights, visit a New Zealand King Salmon Farm and enjoy a beautiful wine and food match a perfect combination for an afternoon cruise from Picton.

Board the Marlborough Travel launch and listen to an informative commentary from your skipper about the Marlborough region as you enjoy the the impressive scenery that surrounds you. Visit a King Salmon Farm and hand feed the salmon (weather dependent) and learn about the fascination process of how the fish are farmed from smolt to maturity. Then on to a different type of aquaculture as we look at the traditional techniques used to grow mussels and more recently the fabulous Tio Point Oyster, a flat oyster associated with a Bluff Oyster but now successfully farmed in the Marlborough Sounds.

Next you are treated to a fabulous tasting of divine salmon and fresh oysters washed down with a complimentary glass of the regions famous ‘Sauvignon Blanc’.
