Rare MMDown Under Posted December 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I got off a ferry from North Island in Picton. We picked up a high car to tour the South Island and took off, so I have no memories of Picton, except pretty water views. Picton - Any recommendations for day trip off a cruise ship - I enjoy small groups or solo only. Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady 278m length width 38m 17 decks 2770 passengers 1160 crew I know we can't look at the competiion. However can you just tell me how many people are on their roll call for cruise from Auckland, 12/1?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted December 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I have done an excellent cruise of Queen Charlotte Sound. https://www.getyourguide.co.uk/marlborough-sounds-l93419/cruises-boat-tours-tc48/?visitor-id=1E0PQK38WQOTMZA1UELKN34EQLLS0WLI&locale_autoredirect_optout=true IIRC the cruise took up a morning and left time for wine tasting and chocolate shop tour in the afternoon. https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attractions-g285728-Activities-c42-t205-Picton_Marlborough_Region_South_Island.html Have also done the steam train trip into Blenheim. Great one for entusiasts but not a lot to do in Blenheim. https://www.marlboroughflyer.co.nz/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiser3775 Posted December 31, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I did an excellent day trip from Picton which visited five different wineries. The company was called Na Clachan Tours. There were nine of us in a mini bus, and we got special treatment and private tastings at each place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
