Cruise the Opawa River

Cruise the Marlborough countryside, the Wither Hills and the vineyards in a specially built river boat. The River Queen is fully licensed and carries a selection of the finest local wines. You can take a lunchtime cruise and/or combine it with a wine tour, or simply take a late- afternoon cruise. The River Queen operates every day except Monday.
