-- About this video --

This morning we are waking up to the smell of freshly baked scone in the Tombstone Backpackers that offer free breakfast every morning. Then we are heading down to the Picton waterfront for our activity of the day: a Marlborough Sounds Mail Boat Cruise with Beachcomber Cruises. 

We hop on the Beachcomber Mail Boat Cruise in Picton and get ready for our Marlborough Sounds cruise. The Mail Boat Cruise of the Marlborough Sounds allows us to see some of the hidden coves and bays of the Marlborough Sounds by cruise. 

The route on the Mail Boat in the Marlborough Sounds is different every day so we are seeing some really off the beaten track locations in the Marlborough Sounds. 

We even get the chance to hop off the Mail Boat in one cove and another to feed the dogs. 

While on the Mail Boat Cruise of the Queen Charlotte Sound, we keep an eye out for dolphins. 

So what do you think of the Marlborough Sounds Mail Boat Cruise? Is this a cruise of the Marlborough Sounds you would do?
