The Valley is a short walk away from the Centre of Picton and recreates the feeling of a calm countryside as soon as you move further from the centre. The waterfalls, creeks and the native bushes further enhance the countryside flavor to Esson's Valley.
If you like walking then Esson's Valley harbours a variety of tracks to choose from. The Humphries Dam promenade stretches for about an hour and a half allowing you to ogle at the lovely views at every corner. You can tread further onto a more challenging bush path to discover an old dam. Crossing the dam would catapult you into a real-life Jurassic Park situation where you encounter similar wilderness landscapes.
The Tirahanga track offers amazing hilltop views over Picton and Queen Charlotte Sounds. But beware of the steepness and the slipperiness while you tread on it. The walk takes over 2 hours to complete.
Make use of car rental services to move around Picton and nearby areas. Renting a car gives you the power to choose your own vehicle. You can pick your choice out of a myriad available car options. Car agencies ensure that you receive maximum benefits at extremely low rates of rental.
