Explore Marlborough's crown jewel this summer

Picton is a quintessential piece of Marlborough summer.

The perfect place to park up and soak in the sun, go for a dip, check out the shops or take on some of the area’s walks or mountain biking tracks. There’s something for everyone.
Some popular walking/mountain biking tracks include:

The Snout

Walk or cycle your way into Queen Charlotte Sound on the Snout - taking you from Picton into the middle of Waikawa Bay. It’s a moderate level track with stunning views throughout.

Upper or Lower Bobs Bay

Both of these moderate walks finish with the delightful beach that is Bobs Bay - take a picnic and your togs and towel - relax and unwind before making the 30 minute return walk.

Picton to Waikawa

This easy track allows 45 minutes of exercise one-way - an ideal walk when time is on your side and you prefer to keep the terrain flat.

Tirohanga Track

This well-known walk is known for its stunning views across Picton and into the Sounds. Short but steep - it’s great for those looking for a quick challenge before unwinding at the beach.

Link Pathway

Situated alongside Queen Charlotte Drive, the Link Pathway offers a range of gradients and stunning views throughout - choose a small section to tackle or challenge yourself to complete the entire track from Picton to Havelock - all 42 kilometres! Training is recommended before tackling the full length of this track. Water and food are essential.
