Set off from Picton for a scenic cruise through the tranquil waterways of Queen Charlotte Sound/Tōtaranui, surrounded by forested hills, secluded bays and sparkling coastal scenery. Your journey leads to a beautiful Marlborough Sounds resort in Endeavour Inlet, where a delicious lunch and time to unwind await.

Choose to visit either Furneaux Lodge or Punga Cove, each offering its own memorable waterfront setting. At Furneaux Lodge, enjoy a set-menu lunch in the historic homestead or relax on the sweeping lawn overlooking the inlet. At Punga Cove, settle into the welcoming Boatshed Café & Bar for a tasty set-menu lunch, including stone-baked pizza options, with views across the water. After lunch, there’s time to explore the grounds, take a short walk, relax on the beach or simply soak up the peaceful surroundings.

In the afternoon, return to the jetty for a relaxing scenic cruise back to Picton, bringing the day to a beautifully unhurried close. Combining spectacular Marlborough Sounds scenery, waterfront dining and time to explore at your own pace, this experience is perfect for anyone who enjoys great food, beautiful places and memorable days on the water.
