Water Sports In Marlborough, New Zealand Feel One With Nature

Marlborough New Zealand is typically the first landing port of many who visit South Island

. Situated along the southern rim of the island, the city is blessed with blissful weather and a climate that is ideal for growing grapes to produce a world-class wine. Sauvignon Blanc produced from this region is a prize winner and much sought after. Many of the things to do in the area revolve around wine tasting and visiting the numerous vineyards around.

Aside from tasting all that wine, visitors will do well to experience the many outdoor activities Marlborough is also famous for. Biking, hiking, cycling, hot air ballooning and water sports are just to name a few of the things one could do while on holiday here.

There are many things to do along the water, on the water and beneath it. And Marlborough like many New Zealand cities is a treasure trove of adventure sports. The sunken valleys of Marlborough Sounds are ideal for those who have a few days at hand to visit this beautiful precinct. A mix of beaches, waterways that are ideal to roam and rolling hills can be found at this ancient ecological system.

Diving in the Queen Charlotte Wilderness Park that is part of the Sounds is also a delightful and rewarding experience. Shipwreck diving can be experienced as well as spear fishing and a chance to fine tune your skills of free diving. Dolphin watching tours are also a popular activity. Along the beautiful Marlborough Sounds the dusky bottlenose and Hectors dolphin can be spotted with ease. Those who partake in a cruise will initially watch the dolphins and then follow them as they jump, turn and flip for your entertainment. And finally, the exciting opportunity of actually swimming with the dolphins in snorkel gear can be accomplished.

Those who enjoy a spot of salt water fishing will enjoy a trip to Queen Charlotte Sound where many tour guides offer either a half day or full day expedition. Kayaking is also an extremely popular sport in Marlborough for which both novices and experts will find a number of locations to choose from.
