Dolphin Cruise & Wine Tour from Blenheim

Description

Combine the tranquility of a dolphin cruise with the lure of wine tasting for an unforgettable day out in the picturesque Marlborough region. Your day begins with an early rise to catch your luxurious catamaran ready to escort you to the idyllic waters of Queen Charlotte Sound. Learn about the intricate marine environment that is the Sounds as you relax on your 4 hour scenic cruise in search of playful dolphins which feed in the Sounds. If you are feeling adventurous you can take the plunge sporting a wetsuit and join the dolphins for a play in their natural environment (additional cost).

Follow the cruise with a well-earned scrumptious lunch at a vineyard restaurant before sipping the afternoon away savouring the tastes of the beautiful array of Marlborough wines. The popular zesty Sauvignon Blanc and delectable Pinot Noir will satisfy the most discerning palates. We will explore a selection of cellar doors to broaden your wine medley as much as possible. The combination tour ticks all the boxes and will ensure your Marlborough excursion is one to remember!
