Enjoy the very best of the Marlborough Sounds with a cruise and mystery picnic. This package has been used a number of times with international tour groups, incentive groups and corporate conference groups. It never fails to produce the "wow" factor.
After a cruise through the Pelorus Sound we will disembark the vessel at the start of a bush track. This is an easy gradient 45 minute bush walk through native beech forest along the foreshore of the Pelorus Sound. During the walk the group will hear the echoing sound of bagpipes coming through the bush. This is a great way to raise the interest level of the group as they walk through the bush wondering where it is coming from. At the end of the track the group will find a delightfully set picnic table with the very best of everything. White table cloths, nice crockery, cutlery and glassware.
Our chef on the day will prepare a devine lunch of fresh local produce, seafoods and salads, all matched to a range of Marlborough wines. This will be a long leisurely lunch in a magical part of the Marlborough Sounds.
This package is ideal for a group of 20 - 40 people but can be quoted for any group size. For a no-obligation quote please click here to email Marlborough Travel.
