In town, don't miss the historic Edwin Fox ship, or head out on excellent cruises and kayak trips. Water taxis buzz across the water taking trampers to various points on the Queen Charlotte Track. Picton also makes a decent base for exploring the wine region around Blenheim, half an hour's drive to the south.
