Discover places far from the nearest road, and maybe meet some of the locals who call this isolated and beautiful place home. Relax onboard our comfortable vessel as we deliver passengers and supplies to homes, secluded resorts and the Queen Charlotte Track, keeping an eye out for seals, penguins, dolphins, stingrays and rare sea birds.

Touring the Sound by boat.

5.00Even with the rainy conditions we thoroughly enjoyed this boat trip because there was plenty of seating inside to look out. We got an appreciation for the vastness of the sound and many of the larger and more famous bays.

Oversold and underdelivered

2.00Oversold and underdelivered. Sadly, despite careful consideration of all the tours available, I made the wrong choice to do the Cougar afternoon delivery cruise Monday 26 Jan 2026. Weather was good, boat well presented and comfortable and crew friendly and efficient. However, focus was totally on delivering of goods and passengers to just 5 stops. Commentary limited to 3 brief explanations of landmarks but no background info on the unique history or environment features, no marine life possible sightings or habitats, only map available was too small to be legible. Arrived back half an hour earlier than the advertised time feeling there had been many missed opportunities. Picton Tourism operators beware of complacency, every passenger has a voice but not a bottomless purse.
Outstanding!!

Magic Mail Run

5.00As boat owners, we don't normally pay for boat trips when on holiday 😀. I'm glad we made the mail drop cruise an exception. On our 4 hour cruise, we stopped at many Coves dropping off Mail and essential items (cartons of wine). We saw dolphins and seals (when visiting a salmon farm). We were also able to spend time at one of the Coves to explore the native bush. Our skipper was excellent 👏 and pointed out all of the points off interest 👏. All in all, a thoroughly interesting and informative cruise. When in Picton this must be on your must do list.
Try it. We thoroughly...

5.00Try it. We thoroughly enjoyed it, but wasn't what I was expecting. It was more of a taxi than mail run.

5.00Do it! Great experience, commentary and chatter with local operators and residents of remote locations around the Sound. Huge pod of bottle nose dolphins playing with the boat was a real treat 😄
