Scenic | Ship Cove Cruise

Come and enjoy and experience with us, like no other in the Queen Charlotte Sound. Cruise up the Sounds, taking in all of its beauty, making your way right up to historical Ship Cove. Along the way be sure to keep observing the many varieties of seabirds and wildlife along the way. On arrival at Ship Cove you will have the opportunity to go ashore for 15 minutes where you will step back in time and enjoy the tranquillity of this bay.

Take the opportunity to dabble in the creek where Captain Cook made home brew for his crew and share the beach with the resident wildlife. It is also a great opportunity to have your photo taken beside the Captain Cook monument commemorating his visits to this area. On rejoining your cruise vessel you will visit Resolution Bay to feed the pet fish, then Endeavour Inlet to view Furneaux Lodge and Punga Cove Resorts before returning back to Picton.
