It's not
known as New Zealand's sunniest province for nothing! Marlborough's clear, sunny skies and
diverse landscape encourages a relaxed lifestyle. Marlborough has a wide and varied range
of recreational activities from which to choose: tramping in the region's native
forests; fishing trout-filled rivers; discovering the Sounds' sheltered bays; seeking
out the humpback whale; exploring Marlborough's high backcountry. And all easily
within reach of the region's towns.
Whether your interest lies with sea-kayaking or sea cruising, wine or
wildlife, Marlborough is a great place to chill-out!

Separated from the South Island by the narrow French Pass channel, d'Urville Island is the largest island in the outer Marlborough Sounds. With an area of approximately 150 square kilometres, it is the eighth-largest island of New Zealand. The island is named after Rear Admiral Jules Sébastien César Dumont d'Urville, a French explorer and naval officer who explored the south and western Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica.
