We're excited to announce that Marlborough Tour Company is now the Platinum Sponsor of Mistletoe Bay Eco Village.

As a key location on the Queen Charlotte Track and a hub for outdoor recreation, Mistletoe Bay aligns closely with the MTC group of adventure and nature-based tourism experiences.

This partnership supports the Mistletoe Bay Charitable Trust in its vision of ensuring more young people can experience the Marlborough Sounds through outdoor education, adventure-based learning and meaningful time in nature.

Together, we'll help preserve and enhance this special place so it can continue welcoming schools, families, community groups and visitors for generations to come.

We're proud to support the incredible work of the Trust and look forward to working together to protect and celebrate this special spot in the Marlborough Sounds. 💚

2025/2026 Season Wrap Up.
As winter approaches we can reflect on a wonderful season. We have had 51 school camps through, many enjoying our new Burma trail. Many thanks to our 'friends of the bay' and other donors for generous donations of whiteware, life jackets, fishing rods and fences. Thank you for all the letters and notes received from campers and school students. To the wonderful friends we have made, and people we have met this season, you made our first season amazing and we are looking forward to many more. We look forward to seeing everyone again and meeting new people from the 1st September 2026.
