Whales & Wine - Self Drive

After picking up your car in pretty Picton, drive just 20 minutes south to the town of Blenheim. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or an aspiring novice, it is a great place to enjoy fine wines, beautiful scenery and fascinating vineyard tours. A couple of hours more on the road and you’re in Kaikora – the place for whale watching. A ribbon of snow-capped coastal mountains provides a dramatic backdrop for the sperm whales and dolphins that can be seen year-round. Finally, make your way to Christchurch for a little punting on the River Avon.
