Things to do in New Zealand, New Zealand: The Best Piers & Boardwalks
New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/ ( listen); Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui), and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and around 600 smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.

It was beautiful coming into Picton on the Celebrity Solstice and we were glad we got up to see the ship dock here. It is a lovely small town & there was an outdoor market the day we were there.

Beautiful wharf set amongst stunning cliffs and views if the coast. Well worth a stop to stroll the entirety of the wharf. Wear your togs so you can jump off the wharf at the end (safely) as there is a ladder to climb back up. Worth taking some fishing rods too if you have a chance. Can also reccomend the little food truck at the start, had some great cheezy wheezy :)

Beautiful walk with reflections in the lagoon if you chance it on a fine and calm day. Takes about 40 mins to do the loop from the town centre depending on your walking speed and how long you want to sit on one of the benches to soak up the views.

Coming from the CBD, we hoped to walk to the harbour bridge, but didn’t have quite enough time. We did however walk the Westhaven Promenade, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. There were good sculptures and interesting seating. We watched a sailing lesson for children and radio controlled model boats out in the marina. It was a shame that you walk through an industrial area and the back of boat yards to join to the Wynyard Quarter, although the area does seem to be under development. Better signage linking the areas would be a bonus!

One can endlessly watch as the waves break on the huge black rocks underneath and around the lookout point. Even though the viewing platform is quite high above the sea the roar of the sea is deafening and in between you even get the spray from the waves as they crash endlessly against the breakwater.The glorious sunset over the Tasman Sea was a sight to see from here.
