Introducing Picton

Show mapClose map

Half-asleep in winter, but hyperactive (with 2000 ferry arrivals per day) in summer, Picton clusters around a deep gulch at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound. It’s the main marine access point to the South Island, and the best place from which to explore the Marlborough Sounds and tackle the Queen Charlotte Track. The vibe here is touristy and transient, but there are some great hostels, decent watering holes and plenty of good eateries.
