Pelorus Mail Boat
We paid $120 each for a 7.5 hour tour on a large launch delivering mail + stores to 45 families who live in the Sounds.
Free tea & coffee. Very informative tour. Maybe a little expensive but quite unique. you can take this tour from Havelock or Picton. A free bus will pick you up in Picton and deliver you to Havelock where the tour leaves from and will take you back to Picton when the tour is finished.
