[Marlborough Sound] French Pass

Voila! Nelson weekend getaway. French Pass, according to the website (http://www.frenchpass.com/), "overseas visitors rate it the most scenic drive in the country surpassing Milford and Queenstown", and I cannot agree more. Although the route is windy and the road is unseled from Elaine Bay to French Pass, but it still worth the drive. It takes about 1h 40m drive from the junction of highway 6.

Giant stingray was observed in Elaine Bay right from the jetty, and sharks from the shore of French Pass campsite. Stunning view and wild animals had make this place amazing. According to DOC (Department of Conservation) information, dolphins are often seen in french pass, maybe I should try my luck again.
