What Makes E-Ko Tours the Best Nature & Wildlife Eco Tour Around New Zealand?

Wildlife holidays in New Zealand can evoke images of wild seas, huge icebergs and crashing whale flukes all around creating an unstable boat and nauseous inclinations. Marlborough Sounds is different. Found on the north-easterly tip of the South Island and thanks to its eternally calm and well-protected crystal blue waterways, seasickness is something we guarantee against - or your money back! Never in the 10 years we've been operating has this guarantee ever been challenged.

Marlborough Sounds is a hive of biodiversity, and thanks to its lush green mountainsides and swell-free waters you will be able to learn about its unique inhabitants and see them up close in their protected environment through our guided Queen Charlotte Tracks and Marlborough walks . Feel free to check out all the best things to do in Picton while you're at it.

What Makes a Dolphin Cruise New Zealand’s Most Special Outing?

There is something about dolphins that makes people happy, and it has a lot to do with the fact that they appear to be happy too. Dolphins are playful creatures that enjoy their own agility. They are the acrobats of the sea, demonstrating the sheer joy of being alive, and that rubs off on all who join a wildlife and dolphin cruise with us. We have been taking people to see dolphins for more than 25 years and all our guides are WCA-certified marine guides. That means they are nature lovers first and foremost, but also extremely knowledgeable and they can answer all your questions.

Is a Dolphin Cruise as Much Fun as it is Educational?

This is one of those wonderful situations where people can learn while they enjoy themselves, and the beauty of it is, that it is ideal for all age groups. Children just love being out on the water – and our no-seasickness guarantee is a testament not just to the placid nature of the sea around here but also to the design of our craft. We want everyone to have a great time and always feel comfortable.

For parents, while they enjoy the experience hugely for themselves, there is the added good feeling of seeing the youngsters happy and engaged out in the fresh air, learning, and having good, healthy fun.

Our Dolphin Watching Tours are a great outing for the whole family, but those who like getting up close with these beautiful creatures, swimming with dolphins might be a lifelong dream come true.

For seniors, a dolphin cruise in New Zealand is a relaxing, non-strenuous way to spend a few hours. Our encounter nature tours are conducted in small groups and lasting friendships are made all the time. There is free chocolate, tea, coffee and yummy biscuits, and you won’t miss anything because your experienced captain and guide will keep up an entertaining commentary, so if there is something you should get over to one side of the boat to see, you will know about it.

For everyone, it is a refreshing experience they will remember forever, and with a camera or a phone with which to capture the sights and sounds, not just of nature but of people having fun, this really is what memories are made of.

What our guests are saying

Great tour. The pace was good, did not feel rushed and did not spend too much time at each place. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about wine. I would definitely recommend the tour. Be sure to buy chocolate at the last stop.

We all had a good day out with you. All the best and good luck with the future cruises.

Good tour, very friendly, thank you.

Really enjoyed the day and learnt a lot as well. Thank you, it was great.

What a lovely way to see Marlborough on our shore excursion. Jade Tours were recommended by a fellow passenger and they really made our day. Fantastic choice of wineries, very knowledgable guides and lovely chocolates. Can’t wait to come back.

Thank you! This was a great way to see the Marlborough vineyards. We’re so glad we didn’t book the big tours on the ship. A boutique tour was so much better, more personal. Thank you – it was very enjoyable and informative and professional

Fabulous tour. Totally awesome day !!! Thanks so much. Can’t wait for the pics !

Just returned to USA after touring Australia as well. Your tour was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our compliments to you for such a wonderful wine tour and lunch. Just devine. We can’t wait to visit your wonderful country again.

Thank you for the pics. We had a terrific day with you and the group. You were extremely flexible and that is always much appreciated. Many thanks once again for making it such a special day

The Marlborough vineyards are wonderful – and so is Jade Tours. Thank you for making our tour so special. We had a “barrel of fun” and appreciated their knowledge of the wine process. The Xmas goodies were a great idea and we were made to feel so welcome wherever we went. Definitely a memorable day for all of us.

Very nice and professional and also nice to see the area with big and small vineyards. Thank you !!

Bruce made the experience very special selecting 5 wineries, including one where we had a beautiful lunch. The Marlborough region is lovely and the wine tour with Jade was so enjoyable!

Lovely day. Really enjoyed it !

Thank you for a fantastic tour ! Just what we wanted after the Wine Festival.

Fantastic tour ! Had a lovely day – thanks so much

Friendly, knowledgeable, well done. Exceeded expectations

We had a lovely personalised wine tour. They were knowledgeable, made sure that we had all we needed and we had a splendid day

Fantastic day and a great deal of fun.

Very informative and relaxed day. Made my birthday – Thank You

Jade Tours made our trip to Marlborough memorable. Both our hosts gave us a very interesting commentary as we journeyed to the vineyards. After tasting each makers product we finished at a chocolate factory before journeying back to Picton. The willingness of our hosts to satisfy us made the very reasonable cost a real bargain.

Thank you! This was a great way to see the Marlborough vineyards. We’re so glad we didn’t book the big tours on the ship. A boutique tour was so much better, more personal. Thank you – it was very enjoyable and informative and professional.

Thank you for the fantastic tour for myself and our family. We had great fun, we loved the wine and your explanations were so clear. We will certainly recommend Jade Tours to our friends.

I was very impressed with the Marlborough wines and with Jade Tours. As a wine maker from Germany, I think they have good knowledge wine. Thank you for a very good day

Passar o dia experimentando ótimos vinhos e admirando maravilhosas vinhas e adegas… o que mais? Só um host super para completar! Foi um dia completo. Só um conselho: tome cuidado com o limite de garrafas que pode transportar. Adoramos!!
