The experience was incredible, with stunning views and delicious food. The crew was engaging and provided great information. Overall, it was a perfect day.
I really enjoyed the boat trip. The crew was extremely accommodating, and the captain's commentary was engaging. The food was outstanding, and I highly recommend the wine.
This trip was fantastic. Nick was very knowledgeable and approachable, and Ren was also quite friendly. The views were breathtaking, and both the mussels and salmon were excellent. I strongly recommend this tour.
I highly suggest this experience for anyone who enjoys seafood, boats, and wine. The mussels were the largest and most delicious I've ever tasted. We were two couples in our 30s, and it truly became the highlight of our trip. The service was exceptional—attentive and professional, and the staff was wonderful. Although the weather was unpredictable, the boat was well-sheltered and the crew provided blankets to keep us cozy throughout. The boat itself was impressive. My only recommendation would be to include food and wine pairing options, as that would have enhanced our enjoyment. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.
An exceptional afternoon spent exploring the stunning sound, enjoying generous portions of fresh green-lipped mussels and salmon cooked on the barbecue. The bar service was top-notch. Fred excelled as the skipper, guide, and salmon chef. This tour comes highly recommended.
A boat tour provides an excellent opportunity to admire the breathtaking scenery. Our boat even served lunch featuring the renowned greenshell mussels, which are delicious on their own without any seasoning.
It was an ideal day with delicious food, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. After extensive research, I found this tour to be perfect. The crew was excellent, and I appreciated being part of a smaller group. The wines served on board were also fantastic.
I had a fantastic time learning about mussel farming. The green-lipped mussels were delicious, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. The onboard service was excellent, drinks were reasonably priced, and the Marlborough wine was exceptional. This was a lovely way to enjoy my time in Picton.
The seafood was extraordinarily fresh and delicious, especially the chinook salmon cooked on the barbecue and the steamed green shell mussels. The stunning ocean views and rugged landscapes added to the experience. We owe a huge thanks to the wonderfully accommodating staff, particularly Chelsea, who waited an extra 20 minutes for us due to our ferry from Wellington being delayed by 1.5 hours. We truly appreciate the fantastic experience.
It was a lovely sunny day for exploring the sounds! Since our cruise ship canceled its itinerary, this alternative in Picton turned out to be fantastic. We enjoyed tasting delicious mussels, and there was more than enough for everyone. We even got to try some grilled salmon.
