10.15am-1.15pm Self Guided Lochmara Experience

Lochmara is a maximum 30-minute cruise form Picton and is
nestled in the heart of the spectacular Queen Charlotte Sounds, offering an
unforgettable New Zealand experience. On your cruise here you will witness
stunning scenery and potential sightings of dolphins, seals, native seabirds,
and maybe even the New Zealand Little Blue Penguin.

Once you arrive at Lochmara, explore stunning natural
landscapes and farmland, and get up close and personal with wildlife in its
natural habitat such as our native Kākāriki parakeet, pigs, Arapawa goats,
sheep, native eels, geckos and occasionally Tuatara are here too – just to name
a few. Walk the art and nature trails around our 11 acres of paradise, or you
can choose to explore our ocean life by heading out on the paddle boards and
kayaks to explore the bay. Here at Lochmara we celebrate Aotearoa’s natural
landscape and all it stands for.

Our onsite café enables you to enjoy unique cocktails,
locally brewed beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. Delight in the taste of
our cuisine, it’s simple, rustic, and full of flavour, using ingredients that
truly give our guests a taste of this beautiful environment, the Marlborough
Sounds.

While there is truly something for everyone at Lochmara, you

can simply do as much or as little as you like when you visit, including just
sitting back and relaxing with a good book to soak in the serenity if you
prefer. 

 In addition you will enjoy a guided tour to view our experienced guide, hand feed wild stingrays and experience the Underwater Observatory.
