Our Wildlife Watch & Walk options allow you to enjoy our ecotour before being dropped at historic Ship Cove (of Captain Cook fame) or Resolution Bay. After exploring the area, walk the most popular segment of the scenic Queen Charlotte Track. Dolphin Watch will collect you from your choice of destinations after your fabulous day in the Sounds. If you plan on walking for more than a day, we offer another package in which we arrange for your packs to be transferred to your accommodation each day to be waiting for you and for a water taxi to pick you up at your final destination.
Half-day ecotours depart daily. Coffee and tea provided, but if you are walking be sure to bring a lunch! All tours depart from Picton Town Wharf. Be sure to bring good walking shoes for the walk on Motuara Island.
Daily departures: 8:30 am & 1:30 pm
Cost:$75.00 per adult $45.00 per child (age 3-14)
Dolphin Watch offers fully guided ecotours of Queen Charlotte Sound and Motuara Island.
