Eco Boat Tour to
Marlborough Environment Award winning
'Tui Nature Reserve' in the Marlborough Sounds
Tours from Havelock or Elaine Bay - Duncan Bay - Penzance.
We organise eco nature boat tours from Havelock or one of the following bays; Elaine Bay, Duncan Bay and Penzance in the Pelorus Sound in the Marlborough Sounds.
Boat cruise through the amazing bays, coves and waterways of the quiet Pelorus Sound to the remote and isolated conservation park Tui Nature Reserve. On the way we will take time to enjoy the rocky shores with the Shag colonies and other magnificent marine wildlife including the Little Blue Penguins and Gannets.
Includes a Trip with a Kawasaki Mule people carrier up a winding track, over the hill to Tui Nature Reserve which is located on a plateau forest, 180 meter above sea level, imagine the views!
You will enjoy a lovely morning tea with the Plaisier family while you take in the amazing scenery.
Spend a couple of hours at Tui Nature Reserve and experience an isolated wilderness park in the Marlborough Sounds. You can go on a guided conservation tour including a walk amongst 900 year old trees like Rimu, Matai, Beech and broadleaf forest. In time our young predator control dog that is now in training, will be coming along for the walk and we will also be checking some traps on the way.
Great for bird watching ; view the Wood Pigeons, Tui's, Bellbirds and of course the tame Weka (NZ non flying bird). We set up a breeding programme for native lizards such as the Marlborough Green Gecko and a bird enclosure with Red Crowned Kakariki.
To make the eco tour nothing but enjoyable, we only go out with reasonable calm weather and with a maximum of nine people only.
