The tidal estuary of Wairau Lagoon in Marlborough is home to more than 90 different kinds of birds.
Royal Spoonbill, Black Fronted Tern and Bar-tailed Godwit are among the thousands that flock here, and it’s easy to see why.
The light is always changing on these peaceful waters, there’s no one around and the food’s great. Driftwood Eco-tours offers you the same experience.
Will Parsons, who runs Driftwood Eco-tours, is brimming with local knowledge. His family has farmed in Marlborough for four generations and Will takes you to the heart of local wildlife, landscape and history either by 4WD or kayak.
Want to do more than look at birds?
Driftwood Eco-tours also offers river valley walks, high country mountain tours and lagoon kayak trips.
We’d love to hear from you and show you our part of the world.
