Greenshell Mussel Cruise

As well as being famed as a world-class wine producing region, Marlborough is also renowned for its greenshell mussels. Take a gentle cruise through the beautiful inner Pelorus and Kenepuru Sounds, enjoying the scenery whilst learning about the history of mussel farming in the area, with commentary from your knowledgeable guide.

At the end of the tour you will also get to sample some of the mussels, fresh from the waters of the Marlborough Sounds, lightly steamed and served with a glass of Marlborough sauvignon blanc.
