Picton Car Rental
Dolphins: Your Picton Pals
Have you ever dreamt of swimming with dolphins? Well, there’s good news for you! You can have a splash with these sea creatures in the lovely town of Picton! You can find it in the Marlborough region of New Zealand, near the top of Queen Charlotte Sound.
The town got its name from Sir Thomas Picton. Sir Tom was a Welsh military associate to the Duke of Wellington and the poor fellow found an untimely death during the battle of Waterloo.
Drive in style, in your own time, in your own convenience. Get a car rental!
There are many things you can do while you’re here at Picton. To start off, you should come to the Queen Charlotte Track. It’s one of the country’s acclaimed walking trails and is becoming famous for its scenic and peaceful coastal walks.
Get to see bays surrounded by ferns, forests full of lush trees and even sensational skyline vistas. After your scenic walk you can top it off by submitting yourself to their very cosy accommodation. Get a boutique lodge and be served with high-class gourmet meals.
Drive to Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferry to enjoy a taste of warm Kiwi hospitality. As you sail through Cook Strait with the Blueridge service you’ll get to view amazing sceneries, experience amicable service, and even see free big screen movies. If you want to cross the Cook Strait in style, this is the way to do it!
When you cruise through the short stretch of open water found in between Wellington Heads and Tory Channel you won’t regret looking out for the sea animals inhabiting these parts. Dolphins and whales like to keep Blueridge’s ferries company so if you’re lucky, you can get to spot a couple of them poking out of the water’s surface. It’s a good thing they’re friendly, yeah?
And finally, the part you and I have been waiting for! Race on up (but do so safely, and within the speed limits) to Dolphin Watch Ecotours! The place, which is owned and operated by marine biologists, is an award-winning company that offers wonderful wildlife cruises.
Have the best time of your life with a thrilling swim alongside dolphins! It’ll be an experience you won’t ever forget!
So head on to Picton! A place of wonder and amusement and let’s not forget… dolphins!
