10 Things to KNOW Before Visiting the Marlborough Sounds (My Top Tips!)
Here’s everything you NEED to know before visiting the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand including the best attractions and ways to explore.
About Marlborough Sounds
Located at the northeastern tip of the South Island, the Marlborough Sounds are made up of forested peninsulas, hidden bays, and some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in New Zealand. While some people just pass through Picton on the ferry, this region is so much more than a transit stop—it’s one of my favorite places to slow down and explore.
I recommend spending at least 2–3 days here (though I often stay longer to visit the surrounding towns). Have a look through all of my guides below to help you plan the perfect Marlborough Sounds getaway!
