Drive up the Awatere Valley Road to access Molesworth Station, which is open over summer months.

Rent a kayak and paddle your way from bay to bay, choosing to be independent or guided.

Slow things down and leisurely explore vineyards by bike, choosing a guided or unguided tour of cellar doors.

Wake early in the Marlborough Sounds for a stunning dawn chorus, like that heard by Joseph Banks when he visited Queen Charlotte Sound with Captain Cook.
