If you come to Marlborough Sounds looking for fun, excitement or a dose of adrenalin, you certainly won't leave disappointed. There's bound to be aquatic, family or thrilling activities either here or not too far away, from marine mammal encounters and eco-tourism adventures to cruises and jet-boat rides. New Zealand is the 'Adventure Capital of the World', so adrenalin-pumping action is found all over the country. Jet boating and white-water rafting are exhilarating ways to check out the country's crystal-clear rivers and magic scenery. If you would rather stay dry then there's a myriad of land and air-based activities on offer too. The brave can try bungy jumping, the slightly less courageous can enjoy a tandem hang-glide or parapent, or for the ultimate thrill there is the free-fall skydive. Plus, abseiling or exploring the captivating cave systems that riddle both the North and South Islands should definitely be on your to-do list.

The wild and majestic Marlborough Sounds are jewels in the crown of Marlborough. Comprising three main waterways of Queen Charlotte Sound, Pelorus Sound, and Kenepuru Sound, the recreational opportunities this area offers are boundless. The maze of secluded inlets and coves is a system of submerged river valleys and islands that stem from the major inlets of Queen Charlotte and Pelorus Sounds. It provides an ideal environment for sailing, fishing, diving, sea kayaking and viewing marine life, including dolphins. Viewing marine life, mussel and salmon farms is popular in the Sounds, and cruises are available. The award-winning Queen Charlotte Track begins at historic Ship Cove in the outer Queen Charlotte Sound and ends at Anakiwa (home of the renowned Outward Bound outdoor recreation school).
