Absolutely beautiful! The local Captain is extremely informative and we can feel that he loved his native local area and cares about the wildlife. We saw tons of Dolphins, sea lions and different bird species.

We took the Mail Boat from Picton which took us through the Marlborough Sounds. Along the way we saw very beautiful scenery and stopped at Ship Cove, where Captain Cook docked with the Endeavour. There is a half hour of free time on the island. Then we sail past several places where mail, luggage or food is dropped off. Along the way we see dolphins ! The captain gave the necessary explanations as we sail through the sounds.

Lovely scenery…and dolphin as well, although the captain seemed reluctant to go off the route to enjoy them.We basically just rode the boat and had absolutely neither guidance nor commentary nor interaction with the crew. Weather was rainy and when dropped off at the island there was nothing to do—the muddy hiking paths did not feel safe in the rain. Not enough shelter and it was very cold. Could not go back to the boat as they leave the dock and you are out of luck until they return. Maybe other crew or captain have been amusing or friendly - that was not our experience.
