Since 2005, our locally owned family business has specialised in relaxed small-group shore excursions designed around your ship’s schedule, allowing you to enjoy Marlborough with complete peace of mind.

Tour timings are adjusted to Port Marlboroughs shipping schedule updates, ensuring you return to your ship comfortably and on time. Complimentary shuttle buses operate between the cruise terminal and the Picton Information Centre meeting point, where your guide will welcome you beside the Yellow Flag.
