Your Questions Answered
Do you pick up at the Cruise Terminal?
There is no cruise terminal in Picton. You will be arriving into a commercial port and you cannot walk out of the port. The ship will put on suttles buses to transport everyone to the Picton I Site ( Visitor information site) where operators wait for guests to take on tours. The shuttle ride only takes 10 minutes, but the time to get out of the port varies depending on how many shuttles are provided and the way each ship loads them, so you need to get a ticket or check the ship process.

A private tour offers a more intimate and flexible way to explore Marlborough. You’ll enjoy the freedom to set the pace of the day, spend more time at the wineries you love, and shape the experience around your interests.
