Picton
is full of wonderful things to see and do, with something for everyone.
If it's not here, you won't have to travel far to find it. As this
country is known as the 'Adventure Capital of the World', you can
always find thrills of every kind nearby, from bungy jumping and
skydiving to jet boating and white-water rafting. Our 14 national parks
are perfect for tramping, where spectacular scenery abounds. Our
geothermal hotspots provide natural thermal pools, shooting geysers and
bubbling mud pools, while our incredible wildlife is a must-see for
animal lovers. There are plenty of picturesque beaches for swimming,
surfing or relaxing, mountain ranges for skiing and snowboarding, glassy
lakes for fishing and water sports, and native forests for exploring. Try
delicious gourmet delights, visit an art or craft studio, go shopping,
check out a Maori cultural performance or take advantage of our exciting
range of events. And that's just the beginning!
Picton is the perfect place to base a holiday or as a start point for the Queen Charlotte Track. It
is also the first port of call for visitors travelling on an interisland ferry from Wellington to
the South Island. The area is rich in maritime and Maori history, which can be explored at Picton's
museum with its many historical artefacts. Picton has a fine selection of arts and crafts outlets
and many cafes where you can sit outdoors and enjoy the sunny atmosphere. On the foreshore you will
find the scenic cruise boats, a sea kayaking company, small boat and bike hire, the mini-golf
course, the aquarium ('hands-in' for the brave!), and the community museum. At the Edwin Fox museum
is the hull of this India-built teak ship constructed in 1853. Its 47 years of maritime service
ended in Picton in 1900. The ship is in a purpose-built museum at Dunbar Wharf.
