Wairau Lagoon 4WD Eco Tour
The Wairau Lagoon at the mouth of the Wairau River is a 2,000ha tidal playground for thousands of birds.
Black Swan are sprinkled like pepper over the water, Royal Spoonbill wade elegantly in the shallows and Pied Shag shuffle for space on marooned logs.
On this full-day 4WD ecotour the only other tourists you’re likely to see will be feathered ones on their migration.
- Bird watching and photography
- Beach and valley walks
- Big views of the Wairau Valley, Marlborough Sounds and North Island
- Maori history, including the discovery of a Moa-hunter site
- Time out to sit and enjoy the sound of silence
We are happy to extend this eco tour for people who want to watch the sun set and the moon rise over the lagoon.
-

- 8 hour average day
- local fare and beverages
- Free pickup and return within Blenheim area
