Coastal Lookouts & Bays

The Marlborough Sounds comprise a vast network of submerged river valleys at the South Island's northern tip. This collection spans the rugged eastern coastline of Port Underwood, the intricate reaches of Pelorus Sound, and the iconic Queen Charlotte Sound. Key vantage points like French Pass provide views of the turbulent waters between D'Urville Island and the mainland, while lookouts along the Queen Charlotte Track, such as Eatwells and Onahau, offer 360-degree perspectives of the Tennyson Inlet and surrounding forested peninsulas.
