Havelock is the gateway to the Pelorus and Kenepuru
Sounds.
Discover the Marlborough Sounds at the top of the South
Island. An extraordinary place of a labyrinth of bays, coves and
inlets. There is about a fifth of New Zealand's coastline in this
unique area.
Much of the Pelorus and Kenepuru area is accessible by road, but
to truly explore this treasured destination, stroll down to the
Havelock marina where waterfront taxis and charter vessels are
moored.
Experience the Sounds by boat, sea kayak or on walking tracks
with very good shelter in most weather conditions and all year
round. The crystal clear waterways of the Pelorus and Kenepuru
Sounds are famous for fishing, great diving, boating, kayaking,
swimming and water-skiing.
Enjoy the natural beauty of native bush and crystal clear waters.
A great place to experience New Zealand wildlife; gannets, shags,
blue penguins, tui's, wood pigeons, weka's and dolphins are often
seen.
There are studios and gardens open to the public to visit and
numerous lodges, B&B’s and home stay establishments.
Discover campsites, holiday parks, fishing lodges and backpackers
tucked in fern-fringed coves.
