The Marlborough Sounds is a system of drowned river valleys, which were formed after the last ice age around 10,000 years ago.

Te Whanganui / Port Underwood is a sheltered harbour which forms the north-east extension of Te Koko-o-Kupe / Cloudy Bay at the northeast of New Zealand's South Island, on the east coast of the Marlborough Sounds. [1] With only a relatively narrow entrance to the south-south-east it is sheltered from almost all winds.

[6] The entrance to the sound was a jumping off point between Te Ika-a-Māui / the North Island and Te Waipounamu / the South Island, and the cove was valued by Māori as a place of shelter before crossing the strait and as a place to rest up after the trip.
