"Sail Through the Marlborough Sounds Queen Charlotte Sound is the gateway to the South Island, an honor that it shares with the other Marlborough Sounds. One of the best and most traditional ways to make the journey from the North to South Islands is by ferry from Wellington into Picton. This beautiful boat ride will take you through some of the Marlborough Sounds along the north coast. Covering almost 4,000 km, there are plenty of beautiful spots to explore, camp in, and get to know better. In a great location near Nelson and Abel Tasman, going in and out of the South Island, you shouldn't miss a stop at Queen Charlotte Sound."

My favourite place on the south island Absolutely stunning. Take the time to see this area. We saw stingray, massive sea stars. There's so many islands, little beaches and the water is so clear. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. ❤️

We had a boat tour while visiting a nearby bird island. The scenery here looked beautiful and well worth the visit.

Queen Charlotte Sound is breathtaking stunning with many islands and little beaches. The water is very clear and calm. Queen Charlotte Sound was an important location for trade in the early days between the North and the South Island.

The ferry route from North to South Island or vice-versa is a great experience itself. Definitely wort to go at daytime and enjoy all the great views.
