South Island Cruise Ship Ports

Picton Cruise Ship Terminal

Picton is a small port with 2 different berths,  both a short bus ride into Picton itself which the ships put on. However here our choice is for you to be whisked into the wine country of Blenheim where you can spend the day tasting the Sauvignon Blancs of NZ (and others) with our wine maker.  This tour is a behind the scenes and the only one in Blenheim that  is not a cellar door tour. Includes a vineyard lunch.

Akaroa Cruise Ship Terminal 

There is no official port so its a tender  to shore  and spend the time wandering this amazing French settlement!

​

Lyttleton Cruise Ship Terminal 

This is a working port and nothing to see here, instead grab our private tour into Akaroa the French Settlement on the Banks Peninsula, sit back and enjoy the stunning scenery before being able to stop at a local cheese factory, home to the Hector Dolphins the smallest Dolphin i the World, this is your chance to jump aboard our cruises and  take a swim if you wish
