Cruise the majestic Marlborough Sounds on a scenic eco-journey to Motuara Island Bird Sanctuary or Historic Ship Cove. Outstanding commentary and fantastic viewing areas allow you to enjoy playful dolphins, fur seals and seabirds before landing on Motuara Island or Ship Cove. Explore Motuara on your own for 1 hour or go with our knowledgeable guide who locates and describes the blue penguins, rare saddleback, melodic bellbirds, cheeky robins, native pigeons and parakeets. The birds on this predator-free island are fearless, plentiful and very vocal and the view from the Cook Strait lookout is magic. Alternatively, explore Ship Cove of Capt. Cook fame for 45 minutes and enjoy pristine native forest, fascinating history and amazing scenery.
