E-Ko Tours is located in Picton, New Zealand, and we run excursions along the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound. We offer a range of guided tours from $49 focused on the local nature and history. During our Wildlife Tour we commonly come across a range of bird species including the rare king s**g, South Island saddleback, and little blue penguins. We're always on the look out for marine mammals like
the endangered Hector's dolphin! Here at E-Ko Tours we are proud to follow the Marine Mammal Protection Act 1978 and the Marine Mammal Protection Regulations 1992. These ensure the marine mammals of New Zealand are protected and that their conservation is a top priority. Our interactions with the marine mammals of the Marlborough Sounds adhere to all regulations and our conservation focused tours, educate and raise awareness. We are fortunate enough to hold permits to swim with three dolphin species - bottlenose, dusky, and common dolphins - as well as the New Zealand fur seal. For information on these and our other tours, please head over to our website www.e-ko.nz or give our friendly receptionists a ring on 035738040.
