Marlborough Sounds Water Taxi
In Marlborough's beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound
Enjoy our FAST and FRIENDLY Water Transport Service to the Queen Charlotte Track and Sounds Lodges.
Calling regularly at: Furneaux Lodge, Punga Cove and Endeavour Resort. Also at holiday cottages and homes and in the Outer Sound. Also specializing in Queen Charlotte Track Transport.
Our area at the top of New Zealand's South Island is a maze of waterways - the magical Marlborough Sounds. The Queen Charlotte Sound is usually considered to be the most scenic of the Sounds.
A distinguishing feature of the Queen Charlotte Sound is the absence of roads. Most of the holiday lodges and attractions are accessible by boat only!
Endeavour Express is proud to be one of the main water transport operators serving the outer Queen Charlotte Sound and fabulous Queen Charlotte Track. We have been operating our fast, friendly and reliable service since February 1994. Our home base is in Picton, and all our boat skippers are Sounds men who will be only too pleased to share their knowledge of the Sounds and its folklore with you.
In Picton we operate from our well marked berth at the Town Wharf. We also pick up from and drop off at the Interisland ferry terminal on request.
