Visitor Information

The visitor-information centers in Blenheim, Kaikoura, and Picton are all Destination Marlborough, a regional organization that puts out a nice visitor guide covering local accommodation, cafés, and activities, as well as an events calendar. The Treasured Pathway (www.treasuredpathway.co.nz) is an excellent joint regional endeavor with the neighboring Nelson area. Its guide outlines the best of the sights in the "Top of the South."

Two regional tourism organizations maintain helpful Web sites: Tourism West Coast (www.west-coast.co.nz) and Glacier Country Tourism Group (www.glaciercountry.co.nz). The Department of Conservation (www.doc.govt.nz) is always a good source for the various national parks.

The Taste Web site (www.thetaste.co.nz) is regularly updated, covering the local wine, food, and arts scene in and around the Nelson region.
