Forget the crowded sightseeing cruises. Book the half-day sea kayak tour from Picton if you actually want to see the seals and birds up close without a motor running. If you prefer eating over exercise, the Seafood Odyssea cruise serves fresh green-lipped mussels right on the water. Spend at least two days here to really reach the remote bays. Skip the standard ferry ride if you have the budget for a private charter.
